摘要：As they have moved into the second decade of the 21st century, museums throughout the world have been increasing the profile and outreach of their education departments in order to create a greater impact among the visiting public and sections of the population not usually engaged with museums, and thus to effect changes in their surrounding communities. In this article I discuss this trend through an analysis of four museums: the Museu de Serralves (Porto), the Tate Gallery (London), the Singapore Art Museum (Singapore) and the Serpentine Galleries (London). In addition, I provide detailed data tables about these programs and their location within the organograms of their host institutions.
