  -> Agreed, Brigitte. I’m always willing to try a noun or gerund phrase, but when you get a whole string of them together, the structure usually comes crashing down.

agree  Helen Shiner: I think it is generally termed 'interpreting art objects' so your 'communicating' seems fine to me.

agree  Bernhard Sulzer: bring people to understand/appreciate art - seems what is meant here. Only internet reference using this wording (also including "museumspädagogische Betreuung der Besucher") shows you are right: http://www.haum.niedersachsen.de/master/C53302490_N3951
