Seven staff members in charge of youth education from German museums visit our museum
|
On November 18 last year, seven staff members in charge of youth education at museums in Germany visited the Peace Memorial Museum.
The group's visit was part of Youth Education in Museums in Japanese-German study program for professionals in child and youth services in 2013.
After visiting Peace Memorial Park and Peace Memorial Museum, the group participated in a discussion with the museum's director Mr. Siga and other staff members from the museum.
The German participants showed a very high level of interest in our museum, and asked many questions and offered comments on efforts made when showing the tragic displays to children, the difference in history education in Germany and Japan, and more.
It was a very fruitful discussion.
Although the visit was short, it was a great opportunity to ask directly about museums in Germany and the current state of history education.
