Educational and Communication Concept of the National Film Museum by the Example of its Exhibition "For a New Man, For a Better Mankind"
Abstract
The study describes a model exhibition of Czechoslovak cinema in the period from 1948 to 1958 to show the educational and communication concept of the current National Film Museum exhibition. It presents the methodological base for the Postmodern approach to museum communication following the educational turn in curating, where the design of the exhibition plays a crucial role.
Here, the prospects of an innovative language of museum exhibition are brought together with the current trend of employing the audiovisual medium in didactics of history. It shows that some level of detachment from simple interpretation and context-based review of visual representations is advisable in favour of a more functional elicitation of immediate and authentic viewer's experience of historical topics. e second part of the study thus consists of the exhibition script, which shows both the presentational approach opted for and the structure as a whole of all stimuli that refl ect the contemporary audience's experience and inspire the active cognitive techniques of the visitors.
