Moreover, every citizen is even given an opportunity to life-long learning of culture and arts according to his or her own interest and aptitude, regardless of age, gender, social status, physical conditions, regions and the presence of disabilities. In this respect, it can be said that art museum is a place of life-long learning and cultural education, and art museum education programs can be psychological and cultural elements for educating all people involving children with any disabilities. Especially for children with disability who have a difficulty accessing the advantages that art museums provide the basis for the education which utilizes the actual art works, contributing to the cognitive and emotional development in children.
