Identifying stakeholders’ perspectives about which learning design features for adults should be integrated into the exhibits and programs of the future Museum of Economics of Brazil

Initiatives to deliver financial literacy to populations are offered by a wide range of institutions. Among them, central banks focus on financial literacy because when people make wiser financial decisions, the central banks are more likely to fulfill their societal mission. One of the most common initiatives of central banks in this regard is to establish a money museum. Aligned to the educational intent of these museums, the Banco Central do Brasil (BCB) is currently undertaking and sponsoring the development of the Museum of Economics of Brazil by changing the current Museum into a new one, with new features. The future Museum aims to offer a distinct educational intent for its visitors. Until recently, the various stakeholders of the future Museum had been given limited opportunity to comment on the nature of the learning experience of visitors, especially of adult visitors. In this sense, the purpose of this study was to identify the stakeholders’ perspectives about which learning design features for adults should be integrated into the exhibits and programs of the Museum of Economics of Brazil. Because the future Museum will contribute to the BCB’s results for society, stakeholders should be involved to align visitors’ learning and the BCB and the Museum’s purposes. The study was conducted as a needs assessment, with four research questions guiding it. The needs assessment conducted has included the analysis of official documents, interviews with internal and external stakeholders, and observations conducted in other similar museums. The results present a list of the learning design features that should be integrated in the Museum of Economics of Brazil. Having the learning design features should help the planners of the future Museum to design a facility that promotes learning among adult visitors and therefore helps the BCB to achieve its societal mission.
