This paper reviews the acceleration of what is known as the‘museumization'process globally in the context of the New Museum Movement,and the particular mission of science and technology museums in representing scientific culture.It analyses the significance of science and technology museums in presenting critical concepts of contemporary science and technology,such as the controversies and uncertainties of science,as well as the diverse subjects that need to be involved in the process of representation,thereby underscoring the complexity of the ethical issues of science communication faced by science and technology museums.
