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 transformation of the British Galleries represent the V&A's largest
project in the past 50 years. Interactive interpretation features
throughout the displays, incorportaing 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?
