Abstract

This study aims to describe what kind of users are offered the educational activities visible on museums’ websites, and analyse the relationship between the type of users to whom activities are offered and the educational dimension of museums' visibility on their websites. This is a quantitative and exploratory research. The sample, composed of 33 museum websites, was selected from 134 institutions’ museums. A specific research tool was developed to analyse the museums’ educational aspects on their websites. Concerning the first aim, the main conclusions are: (a) the educational activities offered are aimed mainly at compulsory education and Baccalaureate students, while the offer of activities for special education classroom students is low; and (b) museums’ websites that offer activities for special education classroom students are exclusively of public ownership. Regarding the second aim: (a) the provision of educational activities aimed at pupils in compulsory education and baccalaureate is significantly associated with the visibility of education on websites' homepages, and with the presence of an educational section and an education department on the institutional website; and (b) there is no educational facet on the institutional website visible, that is associated with the offer of activities for special educational classroom students.
