ABSTRACT

This study examines museums and images. Images play an important role in museums, which are spaces that convey events that occurred in the past to present visitors through exhibitions. However, existing research has paid relatively little attention to the images themselves that represent the past. Therefore, this study explores the phenomenon of images imitating reality from the perspective of Jean Baudrillard, who critically analyzed images. Specifically, this paper explores the “diabolical seduction of images” through the example of the Legacy Museum in the United States, which displays images in new ways that prevent museums from turning into spaces of “perfect crime”, hence suggesting an alternative perspective on the relationship between images.
