Education sheet

Mucem and the Educ’Arte platform have teamed up to offer a teaching sheet linking the platform’s video resources with the works and texts in the exhibition “Mediterranean: Inventions and Representations”.

The Mucem’s “Mediterranean” exhibition explores the ways in which multiple imaginations of this sea have been formed and disseminated. In particular, it examines the role of museums in this construction, explaining how art history and ethnology have contributed to the creation of “images” of the Mediterranean, all relative and all constructed: from the appropriation of the Greco-Roman heritage by European nations to Orientalist views of North Africa.

The teacher’s guide develops three themes related to the exhibition:

  • Theme 1: Orientalism, an image of a fantasized Mediterranean East
  • Theme 2: The use of ancient statuary: a shared heritage?
  • Theme 3: Breeds and museums
