The use of drama in a museum context is often referred to as ‘museum theatre’. It is an innovative approach that incorporates theatrical elements and performance techniques within museum settings to educate, inform and entertain museum visitors. It enriches the visitor experience and enhances educational outcomes.
This UA-cam video (along with two other videos and a brochure) serves as an audiovisual manual to help museums start experimenting with drama. You can find more information, including the free brochure, here: www.theateraz.be/atme.html
'A Theatrical Museum Experience' (ATME) is an Erasmus+ project (No. 2022-1-BE02-KA210-ADU-000083541), coordinated by the Belgian theatre company ‘Theater van A tot Z’. In this project, the Swedish Norrköpings Stadsmuseum and the Croatian Muzeji & Galerije Konavala collaborated with ‘Theater van A tot Z’ to bring together expertise concerning museum theatre.
Museum theatre has been used in the English-speaking world for quite some time, and our project aims to inspire museums throughout the EU to adopt this practice.
