2. Abstract Examine the field of museum studies and developments in museum education Investigates on how museum is used as an educational institution Strategies for teaching and learning from material culture Chose Royal Regalia Museum 3. Museum and Education 4. For Educators: Using the Museum in Your Classroom Ways to invigorate discussion in your classroom using object-based learning Students gain a deeper understanding Stimulate a lot of interaction in the classroom Object-based learning is a powerful way to encourage critical thinking (The Art institute of Chicago, 2009) 5. Background Information of The Royal Regalia Purpose of the Establishment of the Royal Regalia The Royal Address - His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizaddin Waddaulah Sultan and Yang DiPertuan of Brunei Darussalam in conjunction with the Official Opening of the Royal Regalia Building on 30 September 1992. 6. Titah in conjunction with the Royal Regalia The artefacts displayed will be an inspiration for the future generations, for example the Royal Regalia and be a source of pride for our people as one of the oldest nations with her own regalia that is both fine and unique.The exhibits will motivate us to protect and safeguard the Monarchical Institution that has been inherited by and long defined the People of Brunei. 7. Importance of Regalia in Education Depending on what subjects we would like to use the resources for, either we are looking at the historical background of the regalia, the cultural value it portrays even the aesthetic and traditions it displays. The most important apart from mentioned above, Regalia reflects the essence of the Bruneis philosophy which is Malay Islamic Monarchy as emphasized by His Majesty:It is also with hope that this will further educate and strengthen our peoples loyalty to see Monarchy as the defender of race and nation while facing the challenges of tomorrow to ensure all aspects of life are centred around it and not divert from the essence of the Malay Islamic Monarchy. (Titah, 1992) 8. How these objects could become meaningful, what does it contribute?

Museum Education Theory to Practice; Creativity and Cultural Objects links between creativity and the features of cultural objects Vladimir T. (2011) cultural objects exist at two levels - first level is the external level - second level is the internal level 11. Some of these royal regalia feature a combination of precious materials, artistic merit, and symbolic or historical value that give valuable insight to the artisans and culture of the period. 12. Museum education is divided into two categories:Informal: Regular visitors who visit the museum alone. Formal activities / programs organized for the purpose of teaching and learning either for individuals or groups 13. Museum Education activities consist of various programs, including; Temporary exhibitions (at the museum) Special classes for specific groups Demonstration - art, science, craft, culture and other Public lectures Film Show Discussion Lecture / workshop Courses and seminars Cultural Activities Club / volunteer museum / outdoor activities 14. Activities could be used for students? 15. Students are ask to make some sketches from the objects that they might find interesting. 1. You should be thinking about one of the works you saw in the museum and how you might have told its story. Review symbols or meaning behind the object chosen, consider the colours, patterns, how it is used, who used the object, significant of the object and its relation to other objects 2. Probably could talk about common things between objects. 16. This is a general example of the symbols behind the creation that I find interesting,Looking at the Royal Regalia building itself portray a symbol of a Golden Monarchy. The dome is adorned with gold floral mosaics patterned to form the bunga putar (pinwheel flowers). If we think, why this pinwheel flower is chosen as a motive, we might want to consider other things - historical aspect for instance. In fact, the element was taken from a design moist on the royal attire of His Majesty - his Coronation in 1968 - as one of the main purpose of the Regalia is to mark these important event. 17. Find object(s) which has something in common - there are few examples found in the museum. Some examples are shield with door at the regalia -Common patterns used in the shield and the door. If we look at the shield, we might ask what is the purpose of the creation of this shield? Does it have the significant on the Regalias door? To practise their critical thinking we might ask students why does it apply to door? Can they tell symbolic meaning behind it? Could it mean as a protection? Different objects could possibly has the same meaning. 18. In art we see these objects more than just a surface. Considering why the design is made like this and this..? From my observation these objects were created based on philosophical of the country; Malay Islamic Monarchy. Paying homage to the rich and colourful culture and ancient traditions of Brunei Malay, the handwoven carpets carry the intricate designs of the ayer muleh, a geometric and artistic take on Bruneis favourite flora, and the pucuk rebung, a stylised triangular pattern of bamboo shoots. Handwoven carpets depict the intricate designs of the ayer mulih, Bruneis national motif. 19. Royal Umbrellas 20. Problems in Brunei Lack of qualified experts to give lectures and those who want to listen. Docent is needed in the museum. Thinking a little bit about what you seeing. The hardest part about the education flexible. Be prepared with whatever might come up from the students. 21.
