Cinema, Museums, Memory and Education
Keyword(s):
In the first decades of the twentieth century, film was considered an ideal medium for the preservation of memory and was rapidly included among the educational means used in museums. This chapter explores the ways in which films and moving images were used in museums as educative tools, and how they were shown to visitors, in auditoriums or in galleries. This chapter also discusses how, in addition to their educational role, films responded to the museum’s need to keep up with the times and to show that the museum was a ‘living’ organism, attentive to the demands of a modern and urban public and ready to fit in the dynamics of city life, with its growing number of attractions and forms of entertainment.
