有學者以「博物館熱潮」一詞指稱，越來越多群體憂心於自身文化及歷史記憶的消逝，而需仰賴博物館作為保存自身文化，訴求公共歷史的所在與策略。這個趨勢接合上「後博物館」的概念，使得地方型／社區博物館日益蓬勃發展，成為全球各地重要的文化現象。
臺灣自從發展社區營造政策後，以「文化」議題來引導地區再生，似乎已默然成為各地方尋求發展的內在假設。地區型「博物館」成為討論文化引導地區再發展的重要設施與投資之一。設置地標性的明星建築，作為超級博物館來行銷地方，已然成為全球慣用的策略。然而，博物館的設置有其自身存在的宗旨與價值，過於窄化其任務於推動地區再生課題，往往可能影響其自身的永續發展與經營目標，此現象實非博物館專業者所樂見。
臺北大稻埕街區近年來出現兩座新的博物館—阿嬤家與207博物館。在傳統批發業的街區中植入博物館文化事業，讓人不禁想問，如何想像博物館與地方活化和文化經濟的關係與連結？
本文由「後博物館」關注的多元文化主體概念出發，以大稻埕兩座以活化老屋為博物館的案例為討論核心。思考以在地文化為基底的私立社區博物館，而非以國族國家認同建構出發的博物館，是否提供任何對地方再生和街區活化的不同想像與可能性。

Some scholar has used the term "museummania" to refer to the fact that more and more groups are worried about the disappearance of their own history and collective memories, and they need to rely on setting up museums as a strategy for preserving their own culture and pursuing public histories. This trend articulates the concept of "post-museum" and makes local/community museums flourish and become important cultural phenomena throughout the world.
Since the introduction of the community-building policy in Taiwan, it seems that the cultural-led regeneration strategy has become one of the internal assumptions for the development of all localities. Local museums have become one of the important facilities and investments to discuss cultural re-development of the region. For example, setting up a landmark star architecture as a super museum for marketing a place has become a global strategy. However, the setting of the museum has its own goals and value, too narrow its mission to promote regional regeneration might threaten its own sustainable development and objectives, rather than museum professionals are happy to see.
Two new museums have appeared in Taipei's Dadaocheng District in recent years, the AMA Museum and the Museum 207. In a traditional wholesale business district, museum culture has been implanted in the neighborhood, and people cannot help but wonder how to imagine the relationship and connection between the museum and local regeneration and cultural economy.
Taking the two museums mentioned above as case studies, this article is based on the concept of "post-museum". To think of private community museums that are based on local culture, rather than museums that are constructed with the approval of nation states, and whether they provide different visions of urban regeneration.
