Interactive Learning in Museums of Art and Design
An international conference
Lecture Theatre, Victoria and Albert Museum
17-18 May 2002, 10.30-17.15
The British Galleries are the V&A's largest project for over fifty years. Interactive interpretation features throughout the displays, incorporating computer interactives, video and audio programmes, facsimile books and things to touch and handle.This major international conference considers whether interactive interpretation so common in museums of science and technology is appropriate in an art and design context. Key issues include:
- should museums of art and design be interactive?
- are aesthetic experiences interactive?
- what is the nature of interactive learning in an art and design context?
- is there a difference between art interactivity and design interactivity?
- what are the current examples of best practice in the UK and internationally?
