What Makes a Museum Interactive? An Overview of Education Activities in the Ankara Veterinary Anatomy Museum

Abstract

Museums operate and communicate ethically, professionally, and with the participation of their constituents, offering varied experiences for edutaintment and knowledge sharing. Today’s museums ensure relevance in national and universal development by considering, first and foremost, educational functions. Museums work in harmony with people in both neighboring areas and farther surroundings to create a participatory system under the guidance of cultural, environmental, ecological, and economic indicators and to develop heritage. The Ankara Veterinary Anatomy Museum (AVAM), provides regular education and outreach activities. Preparations of the anatomical specimens for education and exhibition purposes began with the establishment of the Chair of Anatomy. AVAM aims to be a scientific reference environment for postgraduate students, and researchers, but also a space for the public. This article evaluates the AVAM’s major educational programs and includes the opinions and suggestions of undergraduate students working as educators in the museum about the validity of these programs.
