Project « Cultural mediation: forms and audiences »

The museum public is constantly evolving, changing and regenerating itself so mediation practices need to follow suit, even anticipate, these changes. Schools, for example, adolescents in particular, have expectations that are not always easy to determine. 

How can we take account of them in the museum visit? What do they want, what do they fear and what are they particularly receptive to? What devices can we use to encourage this discourse? How can we engage them and encourage them to take responsibility for their learning outcomes? How do we break away from the classic linear visit? Ongoing research into oral media addresses all these questions. Written mediation resources are also under consideration. What information do we give the visitor? In what format? How can we move away from the classic label to a more inclusive system? How can we involve the public in the process? 

The Museum aims to develop the most appropriate devices for all its different audiences and regularly takes advantage of temporary exhibitions to experiment and innovate with new mediation formats.
