Abstract:

 Like the museum, the expo also uses the practical show as the main form of information dissemination, exhibiting the essence of human creation. Both of them, as a classroom of scientific knowledge and cultural arts, concern about the development of science and culture. All this commonness makes them complementary with each other. While the expo, by virtue of its continuous innovation of showing idea and technology, gives a sustaining influence on the exhibition of the museum, the professional of the museum, participating in the expo organization and melting the museum exhibition in the expo, displays a complementary and interactive development of the museum. In history, many cities hosting the expo take the museum as a part of the expo display, and, after the expo, turn some exhibition halls of the expo into the museum that stores part of the expo exhibits. In this way, not only can the expo promote the development of the museum, but also the museum can spread the spirit of the expo, continuing the mission of the expo. It is because of the internal relation between the expo and the museum that Shanghai Expo in 2010 will take on a situation of the interactive development of the expo and the museum.

Key words: expo, museum, interactive development, internal relations, generality
