Perception of a Place of Culture From an Educational Perspective the Museum in France, Hic Et Nunc

In the perspective of education through culture, the museum fully plays its role.Acting as a guarantor of memory, a transmitter of meaning, and a facilitator of access for a public seeking sensitive experiences to live, the museum reiterates the debate on lifelong education.Given the considerable stakes involved, it seems relevant to show how the framework and time specific to informal and non-formal education promote cultural offerings.In this perspective, knowledge and learning in the digital age point to a paradigm shift.Concepts such as "perception," "creation," "operation" of cultural places, invite us to grasp the kaleidoscopic facets pointing towards the virtualization of the museum.Struggling to find its true place in digital culture, the museum requires a rethinking of the time-space configuration.The "here and now" tandem unfolds multiple levels of reading associating physical locations and presence with virtual sites.Our presentation will include a brief insight into the establishment and evolution of the museum institution in France, followed by an analysis of the "public -museum -cultural policy" relationship.Given that the virtualization of the museum raises numerous questions reflecting the major concern of the increasingly heterogeneous public's accessibility, some practical examples of digital databases will illustrate what we could call a culture of ubiquity.
