This paper aims at examining Roger Silverstone’s works on the museum,
and articulating their possibility in Media Studies. In the 1990’s, Silverstone indicated
that the characteristic of the museum as a medium is the multi-layered
disposition of media installed in/through the museum. By expanding his idea,
the museum can be conceptualized as a media complex, which is a theoretical
framework to consider both the consumption of the museum as a whole, and
that of each medium spatially embedded in the museum. This viewpoint would
also contribute to the current arguments over media consumption in public
spaces from the 1990’s.
