Abstract
The present study deals with the accessibility problem of museums, that is, with the fact that museums should be thought to be understandable by everyone, not only by specialists. In particular, we will describe how we tried to reach the understandability for a non-specialist public and for kids, in a real multidisciplinary case study related to the exhibit of a sample of human skeletal remains from the archaeological site of Leopoli-Cencelle (Viterbo, Italy) in the Museum of History of Medicine of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. The results of the cooperation between archaeologist, anthropologist, medicine historians, museum curator and director showed the benefits of collaboration of different fields specialists in order to make the museum a space for everyone who wishes to enjoy it.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
