ABSTRACT
“The museum should take every opportunity to develop its role as an educational resource used by all sections of the population or specialized groups that the museum is intended to serve. Where appropriate in relation to the museum’s programme and responsibilities, specialist staff with training and skills in museum education are likely to be required for this purpose. The museum has an important duty to attract new and wider audiences within all levels of the community, locality or group that the museum aims to serve, and should offer both the general community and specific individuals and groups within it opportunities to become actively involved in the museum and to support its aims and policies.” 1
