Abstract

This article describes the exhibition project in the Fráňa Šrámek Museum in Sobotka. The aim of the project is to enrich the existing exhibition with new displays and through the organization of accompanying programs for youth, including seven creative workshops, and literary and film competitions.

Winning works were then compiled in an almanac. This project was part of a dissertation essay at the Philosophical Faculty at the Charles University Department of New Media Studies.

The project was financed by a grant from Youth in Action (5280 EUR) and by the Vodafone Foundation CR (70 000 Kč). The theoretical basis for this project were: the museum as a "third space", the principle of interactivity, the parallel between museums and Web 2.0 and informal education through participation and focus oncooperation.

This theoretical basis then determined the content of the project, its timing, aims and realization.
