Experiences

All aboard! - The salutogenic museum is an educational development project at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm which will run from 2008 to 2011. The aim of the project is that every child or young person, regardless of their specific functionality
should be able to benefit from, enjoy and actively take part in the educational activities on equal terms and with due dignity. Read from the project presentation about the background of the project and about the thematic discussions behind the project's aims.

 

With the support of the Swedish-Finnish Cultural Foundation, Sari Salovaara and Tuuli Rajavuori of the Culture for All service visited Sweden for a week to study museum accessibility there. What did they learn?

The See, Hear, Imagine online exhibition presents the symbolistic world of the Finnish artist Hugo Simberg (b.1873, d. 1917) through six of his works. The works are presented through detailed descriptions of the pictures and by analyses of their background and themes. See, Hear, Imagine on-line exhibition is a co-operation with the Finnish National Gallery's Education Unit and Finnish Library for the Visually Impaired.
