58 <strong>MusLi</strong> - No qualifications needed: museums and new audiences case 02 Guided tours This is another strong element to be taken into account when thinking of attracting older people to museums, as the academic literature confirms: guided tours are very popular because they help to overcome a feeling of disorientation, which is most common when there is a wide cultural gap between visitors and the museum. Clear and non-specialist language • avoiding a scientific or “high-brow” approach to museum collection • references, as possible, to local history and anecdotes well known to the participant • listening and involvement, stimulating participation and dialogue on the part of participants This is a point that the volunteers from the Volarte association stress very strongly and it is a key part of the training provided to the voluntary guides that accompany the groups of older people. The organisers found it very common in the groups of older people they accompany in museums to find a disappointment about the quality of information provided. When they ask about previous perceptions of the museum (preceding the visits they organise), the answer they usually get from the participants is disappointment. People said they did go to museums but found it very difficult to understand or to make sense of the labels and the rest of the information about the objects. They felt excluded and eventually felt bored. Employing language that is very clear and not specialised is most necessary when accompanying people with a low educational background. In addition, one of the most important indicators of satisfaction for the participants is to have the possibility to express oneself, sharing interests and finally understanding what is being said. “I have learned something”, “I was told it’s not for me, I couldn’t understand, but finally I understood everything.” are some of the common expressions of contentment. Attention to specific needs • time • movements • self-esteem, etc. The duration of the visits, the meeting places, the approach and style of communication must all correspond to the conditions that would make easier the decision to participate, in terms of physical, economical and cultural costs.
