Abstract

Arts--Management Art museums--Educational aspects Art--Study and teaching Art museums--China
In recent years, education plays an important role in the management of the art museum. Many art museums develop and carry out a series of education activities to draw greater audiences. This has also facilitated greater relationships and collaborations between art museums and schools. School leaders realize that art museum education provides a great promotion as well as complement to the classroom education. Meanwhile, art museums are aware of the great benefits from school organizations. Under the influence of entrance and standardized exams, art courses become less important everywhere, including in China. Therefore, how to carry out art education in art museums is one of the topics for study, which gets great attention from both museums and schools. This paper conducts case studies on museum-school collaboration carried out by three museums in Shanghai, China. It takes elementary and middle school students and teachers as the main object of study. At the end of the paper, it describes the existing problems and provides suggestions for improvements.
