ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the pioneering role of anthropology and art museums in Italy in the production of participative practices directed towards the inclusion of migrants. It examines a reflection on how these practices are expressed, or may be expressed, in museums dedicated to migration. The chapter refers to a debate zone where educators, curators, museum mediators, and migrants – individuals or groups – can meet and share thoughts, memories and interpretations, therefore enriching the complexity of the knowledge built through the museum experience. It summarizes by suggesting several lines of action which may be borrowed from other types of museum, and which could be adopted by migration museums in order to develop an attitude of dialogue with the migrant public and promote inter-cultural education for all types of audiences. Despite the economic crisis which has greatly affected the cultural sector, many Italian museums are reflecting on ways to attract new audiences, being inclusive and fully articulating their education potential.
