Study on the Social Education of European Museums

Abstract

As a non-mandatory learning place, museum is different from school education in terms of educational model and function, but its education function cannot be ignored. Through the overall analysis on the characteristics of European museums, their theoretical basis, and their function of social education, this paper aims to illustrate that European museums generally show the following four characteristics: providing interactive and diverse educational programs; marketing education programs in the whole visiting process; emphasizing diverse educational cooperation model; paying attention to all-round experiential learning. It is of great significance for other countries to learn from the advanced experience of European museum education, carry out practice of the social education of museums well, and realize the all-round development of people.
