摘要:Museums, preservation strategies and conservation methods need to be ‘green’ as ecologic and economic aspects have become a much-noticed issue in cultural heritage care. Implementing successfully “green” and “sustainable” concepts over the long term is a matter of decisions and consensus achieved within an organization. Museum staffs need to respond to changing circumstances by integrating security awareness and behavior in their daily museum work. In individually modeled scenarios participants undergo complex and challenging situations and learn how to cooperate with each other and to develop solution strategies. Two case examples of simulation games implemented for museum staff show a motivating and activating effect on the participants. These positive experiences and sense of achievement gained in the simulation game is a basic prerequisite for an internally induced change to a “green” working culture. If we assume that preventive conservation conforms to what we understand as “green” conservation we will be frequently confronted with conflicting goals as preventive conservation concerns different levels and divisions within an organization. Simulation games specifically adapted to museum needs are an appropriate method to strengthen team structure and internal communication. Utilizing simulation methods helps to break down barriers.
