"Although it is certainly material culture that provides a starting point for the process of learning in museums, it is the creation of social relationships and shared meanings that defines it. Cristina Da Milano, Researchers in Museum Education and Communication"

Greetings from Greece!
I am a kindergarten teacher. This course is a challenge for me, a different approach on teaching. I would like to complete the course, share good practices with my colleagues and look for interesting resources.

A place where there is an exhibition of "treasures" from humanity, environment,... from the past or the present.

Museums as community centres

What do Nina Simon’s ideas mean for learning in museums? How does the opening up of museums impact what and how our students can learn in a museum? Does the focus on community in museums distract from learning about the topics of a museum’s exhibit? Why, or why not? Share your reflections and ideas here.

Opening up the museums to people. It is the community.
