With the reconstruction of cultural experience by digital technology, contemporary museums are undergoing a paradigm transformation from "collection-centered" to "audience-centered". The deep motive force of this transformation comes from the creative tension between the exhibition theme conception and the display design: the theme conception is like the "spiritual core" of the exhibition, and the display design is its "material carrier". The two realize the value co-creation in the interaction, and jointly construct the production and dissemination system of cultural significance.
I. Cognitive Turn of Curatorial Thinking: From "Collection Narrative" to "Problem Narrative" The curatorial logic of contemporary museums has broken through the shackles of the traditional "cultural relic standard" and turned to the "problem narrative" with social issues as the starting point. For example, the "Aboriginal Art Exhibition" of the Royal Ontario Museum of Canada (ROM) abandons the traditional mode of linear display according to time or region, takes "reconstruction of cultural identity" as the core topic, and combines traditional totem with modern digital projection to make the exhibits a medium for exploring the subjectivity of Aboriginal culture. This innovation of curatorial concept confirms the view that "exhibition is a container of questions rather than a display of answers" in The Gate of All Wonders. When the theme resonates with the spirit of the times, the museum changes from a "static warehouse" of cultural specimens to a "dynamic laboratory" of ideological collision.
& nbsp; Conclusion: The exhibition practice of contemporary museums shows that the relationship between theme conception and display design is not a simple "content and form", but a double helix structure of cultural significance production. When curators refine the theme with the depth of thinkers and designers transform the theme language with the creativity of artists, museums will truly become the cultural hub connecting history and the future. This collaborative innovation mechanism is the key to maintain the vitality of museums in the cultural competition in the 21st century.
