Abstract

Temporary exhibitions are essential for revitalizing museums and maintaining their appeal to the public. This study takes the "The Exhibition of the Jinxiang County Princess in the Tang Dynasty", organized by the Xi'an Museum, as a case study to quantitatively evaluate the exhibition quality. The results show that, in the criteria layer, the scores are ranked as follows: exhibition resources (B1), exhibition design (B2), exhibition extension (B3), and exhibition services (B4), from highest to lowest. Additionally, the study analyzes the reasons behind the lower scores in certain factors and reference layers. This evaluation aims to identify issues within temporary exhibitions and provide scientific insights for improving the overall quality of exhibition displays in museums.
