The work aims to study how the red theme exhibition of the museum can effectively improve children's experience and cognition of red culture. Based on the perspective of children, shadow following and photo introduction were used to comb the user experience map. With the Ningbo Museum's "Red Tide Rising:Exhibition on the Revolutionary History of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Ningbo from 1921 to 1949" as an example, through the observation of children's viewing behavior and the record of interviewees' feelings, the types and influencing factors of red culture experience were explored from the perspective of children. The research showed that multi-dimensional experience was the key factor to promote children's in-depth learning of red gene, which was conducive to children's learning of red culture in a penetrative way.Four types of children's experience are summarized, namely, sensory type of deepening cognition, exploratory type from the outside to the inside, social type of collaborative feedback, and continuous experience of deepening memory. The influencing factors of different experience types are analyzed to provide reference for the museum's red culture exhibition to improve children's exhibition viewing experience.
