Merging[edit]

I think for now, this article would better serve the project as a subsection in museum.--It's me...Sallicio!^{$\color {Red}\oplus$} 14:30, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Museum is already rather large and this more specialized article serves to introduce an associated eponymous category. It is a stub article that I would expect to expand into sections. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 17:44, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Id like to see this contain, or connect to, a list of museums that have active educational components. this would fit well with the article University museum, which i also think should be turned into a list of university museums. perhaps the list of university museums could have a column indicating if it has an educational dept. while this article as it stands looks like a merge, the subject is pretty big, and with some work could easily be an article separate from museum. i say keep.

I think Museum Education as a topic certainly warrants its own Wikipedia article. I would suggest that the article mention "Excellence and Equity: Education and the Public Dimension of Museums", which is a landmark document published by the American Association of Museums in 1992. This document was profoundly influential, and inspired many, many museums to shift their missions toward education. --Herr0183 (talk) 17:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that Museum education should remain its own article. The field is vast and has a huge amount of information that can eventually be included in this article. In fact, I'll likely add it to my to-do list. I'd suggest that The Children's Museum of Indianapolis be included as an example, since the museum is a global leader in family learning and museum education. I'd do it myself, but I'm too closely affiliated with the institution to add anything that wouldn't be COI. Happy to provide a larger list of resources, though.

The content is weak, this article just gives an overall information about the topic. Also, the last imagen is not related with the text because isn’t announced in no part, the link of the first resource is not loading and other is not available. Also, it gives you an overall view about museum education but is missing important information due to is a huge topic Laurincón (talk) 01:44, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Museum educator ?[edit]

Hello. I'm french and searching for the english equivalent word of my jobs and studies: I work in cultural associations and institutions (museums, cinemas, theaters...), welcoming public, organizing meeting between spectator/visitor and artists/scientifics, leading workshops, often with children but not only... I'm linked in "public" or "educational relation's" workgroup, and sometimes called by the real name of my work (for me and a big part of my profession) in french: "animateur socio-culturel". I study the notion of "médiation culturelle" at university too; in France it is linked to museum, cultural and communication studies, sociology and anthropology too. do you know the equivalent translation ? thank you for your answer and sorry for my poor english speaking. an answer will be nice, not only for me but for connexion of articles between wikipedia en and fr too.--78.251.4.40 (talk) 21:00, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
