Practice and Reflection of Art Museum Education in Cross-cultural Comparison

Abstract

This paper explores art museum education in a cross-cultural context, analyzing global practices and revealing opportunities/challenges faced by art museums. It reviews museum development, educational evolution, and lays a theoretical foundation using learning and sociocultural theories. Case studies of major museums (e.g., British Museum, Metropolitan Museum, Palace Museum) highlight educational similarities/differences and influencing factors. Facing cultural barriers and tech innovations, the paper emphasizes global networks, innovative forms, and practitioner training, especially cross-cultural skills. It summarizes findings, anticipates future directions (digital resources, online platforms), reflects on limitations, and proposes further research.
