In Search of the Museum – School Cooperation Model: Face Culture Programme of the National Museum In Cracow

Abstract

The paper is of investigative character for elaborating cooperation standards between museums and educational institutions. It aims at presenting and interpreting the results of the Museum’s own research of the Face Culture Project implemented in 2017–2019 at the National Museum in Cracow. The analysis of the factors favouring and impeding cooperation of museum and school has become the basis for a wider generalization and shaping models of museum and school learning in which the following elements have been distinguished: goals, subjects, objects, means, methods, conditions, and results. These elements have been presented from the perspective of both museum and school. The paper may prove of interest to school teachers and museum educators cooperating with schools, as well as to theoreticians of museology and of museum pedagogy, the latter developing as a subdiscipline of pedagogy.
