Summary/Abstract: The modernisation of Romanian museums depends to a large extent on the modernisation of Romanian education. How do Romanian museums relate to the ideas of interpretation and participation? Museum education is the beginning of a journey, it is not just a delivery of information, it is the triggering of a process of questioning, experimentation and selfconstruction. Museum education needs to contain emotional elements and be tailored to the needs of visitors, especially the disadvantaged (from rural or low-income communities). Reflections on museum education in the School of Architecture Museum: guided tours for school children participating in the „De-a arhitectura” exhibition, a project for the education of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds around Sibiu, funded by CNFIS and the summer school in Dealu Frumos for architecture students.
