It examines the presentation of the traditional food, kimchi, in museums in Korea, and analyzes the purposes, contents, and techniques of the exhibitions. The purpose of such an examination is to evaluate the current museology paradigm that is based on material culture and to stress the need of new paradigms to interpret and present intangible cultural heritage in museums. This study discusses the political context of the exhibitions and recommends an interpretation of the subject in both social and cultural frameworks, as well as suggests further inquiries for meaningful visitor experience.  a09647775 (ISSN)
