What is cultural mediation? If we had to sum it up, we might say it’s what stands between visitors and the place they’re visiting — the artworks they’re discovering. But it’s much more than that.

The terminology can be blurry, and it’s often hard to understand what it really involves. Between “guide,” “audience development manager,” “mediation officer,” the roles are many — and the definitions vary. Yet mediation plays a key role in creating the emotions. And not only during the visit, as people often assume. Mediation starts long before — and it can continue long after.

Cultural mediation path really begins with a desire to make culture accessible.
