The object of this paper is to share the results of a museological study which involved the planning and realization of an educational program for a group of mentally disabled students. The aim of the study was to research relative literature on special groups’ and their teachers’ experiences at the museum; and then to create, put into practice and evaluate the outcomes of an exemplary educational program. Having completed this in 2002, the author, after ten years, is to now follow-up on the long-term effects of the educational program on the parties involved. The parties to be interviewed are the group of students which have taken part in the program, the particular museum’s current personnel at which part of the program had taken place, and the personnel of the special educational institute at also which part of the program had taken place. The methodology of the study had included literature review, educational program development, interviews, in-class presentations and discussions, trip to and exercises at the museum, and drama. The results of the study are cataloged as written and visual material produced by the group of students who have participated in the program. These are to be presented as a ppt. along with personal observations and evaluation of the author. Overall, the paper will attempt to show how museums may be used as places for social integration and life-long personal development for the mentally disabled. It will also try to measure ‘learning’ in the long term on the parties involved.
