Hundreds of transparent fish in a test tube, showing a different beauty. “The Secrets of Transparent Fish” exhibition from the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium. Using the translucent fish specimens used in biological research as a theme to introduce the production knowledge and related information of transparent fish specimens to the audience. Transparent biological specimens show various colors after dyeing, making the specimen look beautiful. In addition to presenting relevant knowledge, the exhibition uses a large number of specimens with the display of lighting effects, using a strong visual presentation to attract the audience's attention. However, it caused two very different sounds. The pros believe that this is a creative performance, and opponents believe that this is just a stack of corpses.

The first is that when museums display specimens, they must focus on the display of specimens, not just as an ornament. And regarding the number of uses, according to the analysis of the audience survey, it is best to use 3-5 pieces of single exhibits. The main reason is that the information is clearly presented and the specimens are clearly visible. In addition, when displaying specimens, the museum must provide complete information to avoid viewers' doubts about the museum's use of specimens.
The second is that museum display ethics is actually a part of museum ethics practice. The display of ethics is not only the internal rules of museum ethics, but also the social ethics. The main points of display ethics are the nine principles of exhibitions, display interpretations and exhibits. The definition of sensitive exhibits cannot be limited to human remains and religious tokens.Therefore, use this study as a stepping stone for future related research. Expect more perfect museum ethics, make the museum more progressive and play a greater social force.
