本研究探討「地方文化館政策」（2002-2011），以該政策在文化部尚未成立之前的文建會時期（2002-2011）十年時間為主，先討論臺灣多元文化政策脈絡，進而對地方文化館現況進行分析，提及文化館輔導點在歷史、藝術、產業、生態、族群、宗教之內涵，尤重分析地方文化館與臺灣多元歷史之呈現，論及《文化資產保存法》與地方文化館政策之關連。研究指出，法定文化資產再生為文化館，有諸多呈現臺灣多元歷史遺產的保存活用。未來如何能更加深度呈現臺灣文化，是地方文化館政策轉型課題與挑戰。本研究以田野調查的實證基礎，具體呈現文化政策落實與否之論證，可供政府文化政策研擬參考。

The diversity of local cultural museums in Taiwan is one of the responses to global museum localization. This research focuses on the ‘Local Cultural Museum Project’ (2002-2011), a policy adopted by the Council for Cultural Affairs between 2002 and 2011. This research analyzes subsidies of more than 400 sites during the past decade, reconstructs policy history, identifies the contribution of the policy to local cultural museums, and discusses the insufficiencies of this policy. This paper argues that there was no overall supporting project for small-to-medium museums from the national government during the century of museum development in Taiwan. This paper also indicates that diversity is one of the national goals designated in the Constitution but the words seem pro forma these days. However, museums in a multicultural age can play the role of providing a platform for mutual understanding amongand bringing harmony to disparate groups, as well as acting as a resource for creativity. As such, “Cultural Diversity”definitely should be part of future cultural policies and become the main spirit in policy implementation.
