Using myth for enhancing cultural identity in the museum: case study research in Greece

Abstract

Considering that the development of cultural identity of students as critical thinkers is a mutual goal for both museums and schools and that, in Greece, little research has addressed the effects of secondary school visits to museums, case study research was conducted in Thessaloniki, Northern Greece, from November 2006 to March 2007. This concerned the relationship between citizenship and cultural resources and their role in the construction of schoolchildren's identity in the context of the museum, with ancient Greek myths being used as a means for re-telling the past and defining the ‘self’ in the framework of contemporary reality.
