Archaeology

The course will address the topic of museum education as a strategic priority for museums in the 21st century. Starting with an analysis of the history of the educational function of museums, including in relation to the birth of the modern museum and the evolution of audiences, the lessons will analyse in detail the process of enjoyment, the value of the heritage experience in terms of learning, and the significance of educational activities in terms of cultural policy and values. Particular importance will be given to the use of storytelling (understood as a process of discovery and meaning-making) in the presentation and communication strategies of museum collections. To this end, concrete examples will be examined, with ample space given to the international dimension (in particular France, the United Kingdom, the United States and Northern Europe).

A good background in the history of art and in modern and contemporary history.

Frontal lectures and some laboratories, visits to museums and cultural institutions. It is important that all students enrol in Google Classroom in order to share materials and participate in any exchanges of ideas and discussions that the teacher or the students themselves wish to propose. The course style is highly participatory. Classroom dialogue is always encouraged. The teacher takes into account the students' suggestions and curiosities in order to adapt the programme to their interests and level of preparation.
