Museums and tourism have had a long and interrelated history. In this
paper this relationship is reviewed in general, and the contemporary issues
common to them both in the 1990's are discussed. This relationship is also explored
in the context of the Oregon Coastal Zone. Two projects set on the
Oregon Coast, involving museums, tourism and other organizations, the
Bandon Community Archaeology project and the Lincoln County Interpretation
project, are presented as alternatives to existing tourism opportunities. Both
projects provide an alternative type of tourist experience where education and
interpretation are the primary vehicles for creating benefits not only to tourists,
but to the host community as well. These benefits may reduce possible negative
impacts from tourism. / Graduation date: 1991
