Os Museus de Arqueologia e os Jovens: a oferta educativa para o público adolescente

In the last decades, the museums have shown a strong growth in the dynamics of their educational services, both at national and international level. These dynamics appeared, above all, in response to the need to conserve and enrich the cultural heritage and to educate the different audiences. However, the audiences and the interests change over time and the museums need to adapt and pursue these changes. Therefore, the need to meet the new interests and to attract new audiences has become increasingly relevant and substantial. This study focuses on the necessity of attracting new audiences in archaeological museums, more precisely on the teen audience between 13th and 17th years old, that has proved to be a challenge.
