Educational and accessible museums and cultural spaces

Abstract

AbstractOffering access to culture and education to all citizens is a challenge nowadays, inclusive and accessible spaces are increasingly necessary if we really want to offer equal opportunities to all people regardless of their condition, physical or health. This systematic review study aims to investigate the situation of accessibility in museums and other cultural spaces as alternative learning spaces. It analyzes the historical evolution of cultural spaces as learning spaces and analyzes the reality of these spaces in terms of their accessibility conditions. For this purpose, an exhaustive search of documents was carried out between 2015 and 2021, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement, from the Web of Science (WOS), Scopus and Dialnet databases. After the analysis and application of selection criteria, a total of 17 documents were found that show the transformation of these cultural spaces, the improvement of their accessibility and adaptation to the new times. The need to offer cultural spaces for all is a challenge that must be consolidated as a social value.
