Abstract
This paper discusses the design strategies of experiential museums for the elderly in an aging society. The aim is to better serve the elderly population and meet their physiological, cultural, and psychological needs. A series of strategies, such as creating an orderly experience process, introducing drama therapy, establishing emotional ties, and strengthening cooperation between museums and the community, are proposed through the analysis of geriatric service models in museums at home and abroad. Elderly experience museums should focus on the elderly, enhancing their social connections and sense of self-worth through multi-sensory experiences, emotional feedback, and social participation. It is emphasized that the museum experience for the elderly should function as a platform for cultural and social exchanges, a social environment promoting filial piety and respect for the elderly, effectively enhancing the social status and quality of life of the elderly, and encouraging them to face old age positively.
