Project

Transforming cultural heritage into immersive,  ensory learning  aboratories for the digital  uture.

Vision and Purpose

The MUSE-ACTIVE project was established to trigger an innovative transformation in museum and school education.

The central objective is to move beyond the passive “lecture-style” model by integrating experiential learning with museum didactics, making study an active, sensory, and engaging experience for students aged 10 to 15.

Addressed European Priorities
