Abstract
This study is focused on the research of exhibition design for science museum, dedicated to preschoolers aged from 3 to 5 in their crucial developmental phase for wholesome development to help them explore intellectual curiosity through scientific play and experience. In this process, I propose exhibition design types or structures tailored to preschoolers’ science material and development features suitable for their each age group along with preferable play environment plan, and attempted to verify the direction for differentiated new hands-on education against average science museums. Based on the direction mapped out in this study, preschoolers’ science museum for their scientific thinking and wholesome human development are expected to be established.
