WITHIN THE SCOPE OF MUSEUM EDUCATION - MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART
The open–air museum Europos Parkas on May 29-30, 2003 invited educational specialists from museums that present modern and contemporary art to Europos Parkas to participate at the international conference Within the Scope of Museum Education – Modern and Contemporary Art. Today the role of the museum as an educator is vitally important in the education of both children and adults. This leads not only to the deeper appreciation of the work of art and various cultures, but also to the deeper perception of the self. The aim of the conference is to improve the quality of educational programmes, to expand the notion of innovative ways of their implementation and the accession of target groups.
The speakers
were:
Anna Bowman (Yorkshire Sculpture Park, UK),
Kaija Kaitavuori (Kiasma Contemporary Art Museum, Finland),
Teddy Josephsen (Louisiana Modern Art Museum, Denmark),
Anna Johansson (Wånas Foundation, Sweden),
Violeta Jaseviciute (Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis National Museum of Art, Lithuania),
