Communicating Culture

Preserving and researching the entire history of humanity in their collections is an important task for cultural institutions – at least equally important is bringing this rich cultural heritage closer to people and showing what the objects and written records still have to tell us today.

Cultural education builds bridges between things and people. A wide variety of educational formats aim to reach a wide variety of people and thus bring cultural heritage to life: from archive cases for school classes to museum tours by refugees for refugees, to outreach curators, and even digital museum guides. This diverse educational work transforms cultural institutions into social spaces for learning and discourse.
