Description
Summary:Heritage students and scholars agree that museum communication is still far from desired request, and compromises both its effectiveness and efficiency. Much information uses either jargon, or when it is avoided, information language is not suitable to different audiences: elementary, high school or college students etc. This essay advocates for a reflection on museological communication starting from concepts such as documentation and information, contextualized in museum environment. It is assumed as a critique of communication devoid of educational nature and not be contemplated in the museum plan, being mere improvisation of brief or wordy curators.
