Museum industry has a long history of development, and its exhibition creation mode also has established a kind of mature theoretical system both in the traditional pattern of “horizontal cooperation” mode and “vertical division of labor” mode, and in the “curator” mode which was originated in the western world. In recent years, Chinese museums have introduced the “curator” system and restructured and optimized it gradually, that move has improved the quality of exhibitions remarkably. Science center started late in China, because of the fact that there remains a large gap in organization and team construction, still, the exhibition creation mode hasn’t been formed fully. In the paper, based on the the analysis and comparison of the exhibition creation mode between museum and science center, the author hopes to promote the level of scientific exhibition especially in the aspects of organization system, curator team collaboration, and implementation of project management by taking the museum curator system for reference.
