要約:Based on a Friends episode, this text investigates perceptions concerning museum education, discusses disparities in regard to the relative value and power assigned to professionals in museums, and reflects on the relevance of education as a core purpose of these institutions. It comments on the conceptual heritage left by the first public policies of culture and reflects on the updating of and decolonizing actions in museums. It discusses how knowledge is constructed and questions the rise of new nomenclatures for museum education. Finally, it reflects on the new definition of museum, and the unfortunate removal of the term “education” from the definition as one of the institution’s main purposes.
