| Popis | This paper concerns the benefit that museum visits provide in the form education system in the Slovak Republic. It reviews the opportunities that cooperation between schools and museums represents for the museum and education systems and the limits to such cooperation. It considers the factors that museums should take into account in providing educational programmes and activities, including the need for interaction with specialised museum staff, the creation of age-group-specific educational support materials, the challenge of harmonising exhibitions with school curricula, and the need to consider schools' planning schedules when announcing exhibitions aimed at this demographic. It also discusses proposals for increasing access to museums for more remote schools where distance/travel time is a barrier, such as travelling exhibitions, visiting experts and virtual tours. |
