En oviss framtid. Vart går allmänheten idag för att uppleva och lära sig historia och vart går den imorgon?

Abstract
The purpose with this paper is partly to find out what people of different ages do to learn more about the past, and partly what they believe will happen within the next 50 years with institutions like traditional museums and the relatively new theme parks. How will the museums and theme parks evolve? Will they evolve? Or will they disappear?

To solve these questions I have sent out a questionnaire to people of different ages. I have also been in contact with employees from different museums and theme parks in Skåne. I have used literature written by archaeologists among others. I have been focusing on literature discussing the future of education and technology in archaeology.

To solve these questions I have sent out a questionnaire to people of different ages. I have also been in contact with employees from different museums and theme parks in Skåne. I have used literature written by archaeologists among others. I have been focusing on literature discussing the future of education and technology in archaeology.

My conclusions are that people between 10-30 years of age rarely visit a museum or a theme park. The occasions do occur but not often. People between 30-50 years of age visit these places more often. They prefer museums themselves, but they often go to theme parks with their children. The opinion about the future was that there will be more focus on technique, such as 3D, Virtual Reality and the Internet. The cooperation between museums and theme parks will also improve in the future. (Less)
