Religious objects with significance of sacredness are moved to the museums from their original places. The original meaning of those objects might be ignored and they are considered as works of art. The museums seem to have a magical function: be able to transfer objects with unique cultural significance into aesthetic objects, scientific samples, historical physical evidence, etc. For religious objects, they are often changed into artistic works. The sacredness of the object disappears, and the artistry is generated. How does the museum transform religious objects into works of art? Under what conditions do religious objects tend to be transformed into works of art? What problems does this meaning transformation of religious objects bring? This research is developed in three levels: audience’s perception, exhibition orientation, and audience’s behavior and experience during the visit. And the main part of this research is divided in five chapters. The second chapter through the analysis of documents discovered that the audience, objects, and museum exhibitions are the three key aspects of the generation of objects’ meaning. The third chapter analyzed the audience's cognition towards the museum through media documents. It found that the audience often connects ""museum"" with ""art"". Chapter 4 studied the factors that influence the orientation of exhibitions of religious objects through statistical methods. Firstly, it evaluated the art orientation of exhibitions of the following three museums: Museum of World Religions, National Palace Museum and National History Museum. Then, six potential factors that may influence the orientation of the exhibition are proposed. Finally, through statistical analysis, it discovered various situations in which religious objects are transformed into art. Chapter 5 through exhibition cases supplemented the deficiencies of the statistical methods of Chapter 4, and discovered that the professional background of exhibition organizers has an impact on exhibition orientation. Chapter 6 focused on the behavior and experience of the audience, and analyzed the typical characteristics of temples, museums, places of daily life, and the usual behavior and experience of the audience in those three places. This research suggests that the places (such as museum’s exhibitions) as the “frame” are an integral part of art works. The study believes that the museum with a generation of artistry is a typical museum phenomenon. Museums and audiences participated in the generation of the meaning of objects. From this angle, the author of an art work is not only the artist, but shall also include museum and audience. The phenomenon of museums with the transformation into art also reflects that museums tends to transform sacred religious objects into artistic works, and tends to filter multi culture into a single culture. From this perspective, the museum's inclusiveness and diversity need to be further improved. The museum could invite people with different professional backgrounds and in different cultural groups to participate in the exhibition organizing, and strengthen the connection betwee
