Children’s Boards in Museums
Routledge (Verlag)
9781032937229 (ISBN)
Drawing on research conducted with children between the ages of 7 and 12 from diverse socio-economic contexts, and cultures over the last decade, the author presents some of the most inspiring examples of children-centred museums around the world. This book describes the many ways in which children can improve the museum, explaining how they can help to transform it into a friendlier place that is closer to the needs of the community, more respectful of nature, and capable of listening to and valuing every visitor. This book offers an innovative way of thinking about children in museums and explains how children's participation in areas of the museum that have otherwise been considered exclusive to its staff - such as strategy, human resources, funding, management, and evaluation - can enhance those areas, making the museum a significantly better place.
Children’s Boards in Museums is essential reading for academics and students who are engaged in the study of museums, heritage, culture, and children. It will also be of interest to professionals who are looking to facilitate a new kind of relationship between their institution and the children who visit it.
