Bildung and Building
Can museums provide building blocks for
Enlightenment in the 21st century?

2. Museums have always been
places for inspiration,
research, and learning

3. Today,
this happens everywhere…

4. …often outside
formal institutions

7. Works that are in the Public Domain in
analogue form continue to be in the Public
Domain once they have been digitised.

11. Remix as a way to learn
The action of actually working with an image,
clipping it out and paying attention to the very
small details, makes you remember it.

Digitised collections
as building blocks

13. Maker Culture
DIY, learning-by-doing, constructivist approach
informal networks, cross-over between subjects

14. Maker culture has attracted the
interest of educators concerned
about students’ disengagement from
STEM subjects (science, technology,
engineering and mathematics) in
formal educational settings.
Maker culture is seen as having
the potential to contribute to a
more participatory approach to
learning and create new pathways
into topics that will make them
more alive and relevant to learners.

16. Bildung ~ Building

17. With universal access to
cultural heritage as raw
materials for new
creativity and innovation,
Bildung becomes closely
connected to Building.

18. Creating an understanding of the
world and your own place in it
becomes a product of active
processing, adapting, rebuilding
and repurposing.

19. The word Bildung is particularly
apt in this context, since
etymologically it is derived from
the verb bilden (to form or
create) which again originates
from the noun Bild (image).

31. Open art can

32. We are all in the attention business, and we have to play to win. (...)
To direct attention to the real knowledge that we produce, publishing our
material online for free use and reuse is the first step.
It is in keeping with our mission as educators that we have to fight back —
and infuse this new ecosystem with all the antibodies we have in hand,
especially facts and knowledge.

It is a giant toolbox with a fantastic
amount of materials to work with.

45. I wish we would measure cultural
heritage on learning and happiness.

46. How can we assess
the impact of open art?
For education,
for welfare,
for society?

47. https://medium.com/@Hverwayen/the-impact-of-cultural-heritage-creating-a-common-language-28cba0e1af0b
If you work in a purpose driven, non-profit
organisation and more specifically in the digital
Cultural Heritage sector, we share a problem:
we should be feeling fine and dandy because we
work for a great cause, but we have very few
instruments at our disposal to assess the results of
our actions and be happy about it.
Harry Verwayen
Deputy Director, Europeana

48. https://medium.com/@Hverwayen/the-impact-of-cultural-heritage-creating-a-common-language-28cba0e1af0b
This leaves us in a very unsatisfying and vulnerable position:
the work we do comes at a significant cost to society but we
can’t systematically assess that it was worth it.
Did it improve the way our children are educated? Did it
result in a stronger, more cohesive society? Did it enable
artists to create groundbreaking new creative works? What
positive change in society have we contributed to?
In one word: did we have impact?
Harry Verwayen
Deputy Director, Europeana

53. As museums, we do not hold any patent on how cultural
heritage can and should be interpreted and used.
Our role is increasingly to facilitate the general public’s use of
cultural heritage for learning, creativity and innovation.
Today, the museum as a place of enlightenment is based on
interaction. We are all part of this web. We enlighten each
other.
