International symposium: 'A museum for traditional culture'
24 January 2010
Based on case studies from museums in Australia, UK and Singapore, a symposium for discussions around the themes of culture and tradition and its significance in museums will be held on Sunday 24 January 2010.
Museums have been the custodians of cultural properties, which aid the dissemination of traditional culture. As the distance between the modern and the traditional cultures grows, that which distinguishes cultures from one another becomes a topical point for discussion. While the importance of preserving traditional culture for future generations is indisputable, nations are in constant interaction with each other in the global market, ever keen to develop their cultures towards the future. What role can museums play in this dialogue for the transmission of traditional cultures?
One of the invited panelists will be David Arnold, Education Manager for the National Museum of Australia, discussing the notion of the 'Talk-back Classroom'.
