개방형 수장고의 미래지향적 운영 전략 연구

초록

This study aims to identify the new roles and operational directions that open storage should perform in the context of digital transformation and paradigm shifts in the museum environment. Recently, museum storage facilities have evolved from closed preservation spaces into ‘open storage’ models that integrate exhibition, education, and research functions. In particular, the advancement of digital technologies such as XR and AI is expanding the disclosure and utilization of collection information, while simultaneously reshaping the overall operational framework of open storage. Accordingly, this study analyzes the operational characteristics and implications of a digitally converged open storage model, focusing on the “XR-linked Digital Open Storage and Integrated Collection Conservation Management System” implemented at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), Cheongju. The findings indicate that open storage has the potential to develop beyond a space for mere physical display into a knowledge-production platform that integrates conservation, exhibition, and research functions. Based on these results, this study proposes future-oriented operating strategies grounded in digital technology, including AI-based predictive conservation systems and a hybrid storage management model utilizing digital twin technology.
