“…This was all part of Museum Siam's commitment to intercultural dialog through a recognition of "our shared humanity." 51 This attempt to counter prejudices and misperceptions is a reminder of museums' capacity to tackle controversial issues. An institution dedicated to the Thailand cave rescue could therefore address the one notably discordant aspect to an Journal of Museum Education otherwise harmonious story of international cooperation.…”

This article demonstrates how a teaching case study approach can benefit museum studies courses. It takes as its focus the widely reported rescue of a boys' football team from a flooded cave in Thailand (2018). The success of this multinational effort led to immediate calls for the establishment of a "living museum" dedicated to remembering what became known as the "Tham Luang cave rescue." Discussion of the potential form and function of this envisaged museum plus its wider ramifications formed a key component of a newly validated international MA program taught in the UK and China by local academics and practitioners. Issues addressed include collections management, interpretation and display as well as ethical considerations relating to funding and forward planning. These were debated through groupwork, student presentations and report writing. The article reflects on this experience and the lessons it has for studying museums. It advocates the use of other topical events as the basis for similar teaching case studies on the grounds that this best equips students with the knowledge and skills required in the workplace.
