Do you know that the Museum is a learning space and promotes non-formal education?
Education takes place both inside and outside the school environment. And also does the building of knowledge. These processes occur in everyday life, through the transmission of knowledge, through actions and the exchange of experiences, and through access to cultural spaces such as the MUPA.
Museums can be characterized as spaces of non-formal education, existing outside institutions of formal learning such as schools. There are, however, principles, guidelines and objectives, defined by the National Policy for Museum Education (known by the acronym PNEM) to ensure that the conditions for museum educational practices are met and that projects are implemented.
The practice of museum education, conversant with current curricular guidelines, permits encounters and integration. By encouraging reflection, providing narratives, creating contexts, and promoting experiences, the museum fulfills an active educational role of a non-formal nature.
