Samenvatting

The main question for my work field in museum education is:
How can a white rabbit-dynamic be initiated for interpretation in art education for museums?
In order for that to make sense and to structure my quest I will try to find answers to the following sub-questions:
Why does the White Rabbit have the power to lure Alice form the real world to the Wonderland? What makes the interplay between Alice and the White Rabbit special? ( white rabbit-dynamic). How can the white rabbit-dynamic be conceived as a metaphor for interpretation in art education in museums?
Which criteria can be derived from the white rabbit-dynamic that make engaging with art adventurous, playful and meaningful? The first part of the study deals with the original text of Lewis Carroll and the character of the White Rabbit. I explore the White Rabbit's power to bring Alice from the real world into the Wonderland. In the following I will elaborate how dealing with Lewis Carroll can disclose thoughts on interpretation by Hans-Georg Gadamer and Terry Barrett.
Ultimately I will define a set of principles of how to trigger the white rabbit- dynamic in art museums. The aim is to identify a number of qualities and characteristics that initiate interpretation that is adventurous, playful and meaningful.
