Museum Education and communicative speech at pre-school and school age

The multiplicity of the work of art and space suggests to the viewer different levels of approach and refers to a dynamic interaction between the viewer and the object of art. Museum objects, as multisemic, are open to multiple alternative interpretations and meanings. By using action plans organized in the classroom, they provide situations of communication and language exchanges and encourage children to develop a personal dialogue with museum objects.
