Question 3- responses

Does encouraging emotional values undermine the purpose of museums as institutions of learning?

“I think that by encouraging emotions a museum can make the experience more valuable to a visitor, therefore more memorable, either that is learning or entertainment”.

“No but the question need to be asked as why self consciously evoking emotion should be necessary.

“Giving an over-directed experience will work for some people and not others, so a range of values/ focus/ lack of values should be offered”.
