Resumo: Museums contribute to the dissemination of forms of knowledge and culture (Jacobi and Coppey, 1995). Seen from an educational perspective, the exhibition is a field/ resource that the teacher uses to enable his or her students to acquire knowledge corresponding to a school program’s objectives. The same exhibition can in this case be used for different purposes and with different methods (Jacobi and Coppey, 1995).
It is teachers who have had this concern for their students and colleagues in the cultural service, when those in charge of museums have sought to broaden the target of their action, the service of the gaze or of delight, some are tempted to say, thus putting forward what seems to them to be the essence of their action: to learn, of course, but also to learn how to look (Jacobi and Coppey, 1995).
Here, we will see the case of the Mohammed VI Museum for the Civilization of Water - AMAN located in Marrakesh - Morocco, which was created in 2017 by the government as a tribute to Moroccan genius in water management, water governance, and as esteem to the contemporary work in hydraulic policy.
The museum of water has two educational rooms dedicated to school groups: these include practice exercises for learning workshops, and group activities.
The pedagogical workshops of the museum are aimed at helping children from 5 to 12 years old discover a set of themes around water, sustainability, and sustainable development concepts; as well as the preservation of natural resources.
The question to ask is: how could the museum of water of Marrakech be an educational tool to children and people of young ages?
