Possibilities of Applying Virtual Spaces in Museum Education
Possibilities of Applying Virtual Spaces in Museum Education

Summary/Abstract: This paper approaches museums possibilities to mediate culture from the perspective of adult learning. In this context it briefly outlines academic achievements of the past decades in the field of museum andragogy and sets forth the opportunities offered by the latest trends in interactive learning. The focal point of the theme is the fact that the paradigm shift of museums has recently generated museum andragogy aspirations. The key point is that museums, museum-type institutions, and organizations in charge of protecting and preserving cultural heritage attempt to create more and more opportunities for adult learning. The central issue of the renewal of museums is that the previous passively receptive type of visits is replaced with a wide range of actively receptive forms of learning.
