Abstract

In archaeological museums, people and communities find the signs and expressions of their own history, with a strong connection with the ethno-anthropological sphere. The areas and archaeological parks, then, are just pieces of landscape-made outdoor museums. The chapter analyzes the situation of museums, areas, and archaeological parks, especially in Italy, and outlines an educational profile with the reading key of identity. Archaeology can make the concept dangerous, because incorrect interpretations of the teaching coming from the finds can cause a misunderstood sense of ethnic identity leading to exclusive behaviors. Instead, the chapter proposes to work on self-identity, with the museum helping the person to become a member of an inclusive community.
