Grade thesis review “link between education and museology. Strategies from the educative area of the National Museum of art of México aimed to the young public"

Abstract

Currently, museums are in a process of reconversion of their identity and their social function in which they try to move from the place of "temples of knowledge" to become spaces permeable to the different problems of today, in line with the demands of the surrounding society. At the same time, it tries to open up to new audiences and a broader sector of society so they can use and enjoy these institutions, where their experience occupies a priority place. This is at least the objective pursued by some of the museums today - based on different educational and communicational strategies - and which, however, not all achieve or do in the same way. At the same time, we are interested in thinking here, what place young people occupy within this process, how museums think about them, what place they occupy in these institutions and how they perceive them. To try to answer these questions, is why the present investigation born and the focus is on the different strategies and educational proposals of museums to carry out and achieve these objectives taking for case the National Museum of Art from Mexico City.
