Professionelle Improvisation. Doing (Summer School) Museologie.

Johler, Birgit; Keller-Drescher, Lioba; Watzlawik, Jan

Zusammenfassung

Lioba Keller-Drescher (Münster) and Birgit Johler (Graz) have been organising the Summer School Museology at the LWL-Freilichtmuseum Detmold since 2021. In the spirit of research-based learning, the museum becomes a place and object of research for a week. The participants work on theoretical and practical issues concerning the collection, develop curatorial and educational concepts and present the results to the public at the end of the week in the form of an exhibition. In this way, the programme is geared equally towards the need for practical training and young talent in the museum profession, as well as bringing university and museum closer together. The professional improvisation that such a format requires is intended as an impulse for the development of teaching formats in times of AI. Using three posters and six photographs, Jan C. Watzlawik (Dortmund) conducts an interview with the two organisers on the genesis, programme and practice of the Doing Summer School Museology.
