Description
Modern museum policy has as its main priority the educational nature of museums. The proposed activities aim to be a new experience for families with young children or/and teenagers who are the group of the public with the highest attendance in the category of technological (industrial) museums, complementing their thematic sections. They seek to help raise awareness of tangible and intangible pre-industrial water-related heritage, such as traditional fountains, that need protection and promotion. These activities and the proposed art-historical exhibition can be implemented by industrial museums located at a reasonable distance from a settlement or town with traditional fountains, following an interdisciplinary research program which connecting scientific and artistic approaches, such as visual and performing arts and the creation of artworks with a variety of means of representation and suitable educational material. In this paper we select as a case study a vernacular settlement and an industrial museum in Arcadia.
