WITHOUT BOUNDARIES IN THE EXHIBITION SPACE – THE ROLE OF MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS AND RELATED PROGRAMS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: One of the key tasks of higher education is to develop students’ critical thinking and to strengthen their empathy and sense of social responsibility. As a site of cultural representation and shared learning, the exhibition space is particularly well suited to providing, alongside university teaching, opportunities for awareness-raising and dialogue. Museum exhibitions and their accompanying programmes create a complex learning environment in which students can directly encounter issues of cultural diversity, social inequalities and historical traumas. The aim of the paper is to show how the exhibition space can become a partner in teaching within higher education. Museum programmes not only play a role in transmitting knowledge, but also offer the opportunity to become acquainted with the internal perspectives and emic interpretations of the communities involved. In this way they support students in adopting a reflexive attitude towards their own presuppositions, reducing their stereotypes and strengthening their social responsibility. Methods of museum education, especially interactive, participation-based elements, are suitable for initiating an experiential and personal learning process that goes beyond classroom teaching. Drawing on teaching and museum-education experience, the study offers examples of how exhibitions and their accompanying programmes can be integrated into higher education.
