Museum learning is a vital component of the lifelong-learning
process. In this new edition of The Manual of Museum Learning,
leading museum education professionals offer practical advice for
creating successful learning experiences in museums and related
institutions (such as galleries, zoos, and botanic gardens) that
can attract and intrigue diverse audiences. The original Manual of
Museum Learning was published in 2007. The editors have totally
rethought this new edition. This second edition focuses on the ways
museum staffs (and the departments for which they work) can
facilitate the experience in a way that capitalizes on their
individual institutional strengths. The goal of this new edition is
to provide museums with guidance in developing a strategic approach
to their learning programs. There is a close connection between
institution-wide strategic planning - where an institution decides
what course and direction it will take for a five to seven-year
period - and its approach to museum learning. One size does not fit
all, and what each museum is (or aspires to be) will affect its
individual approach. Thus there are many routes for museums to
take, many alternative ways for them to play this role. No one
museum can be all things to all prospective learners; they will be
better suited to some approaches than to others. This new edition
identifies these approaches and enables museums to find the paths
for which they are individually best suited, to help them identify
their own unique approaches to facilitating museum learning. Each
one's mission and vision, its relationships with institutional and
public stakeholders, local cultural and market factors, its
individual collection and programmatic strengths, its financial
position - all of these things matter. This second edition aims to
help each museum find the right approach to learning for its unique
situation by showing them the range of museum "personalities" in
terms of their being learning institutions, what constitutes each
type, and what the implications are of choosing one or another
approach for a particular museum. A major theme of the 2nd edition
of The Manual of Museum Learning is museum as connector; the ways
in which museums are facilitating self-directed learning by
connecting people with resources. Not all will connect audiences
with learning vehicles in the same way. If museum learning is
affective learning, then it is the role of the museum to connect
its visitors, program participants and others who benefit from its
knowledge to the learning resources that best suit the
institution's strengths and matches them to the learning needs of
the museum's audiences. By connecting users to the resources they
are most interested in, or which best suit each individual's
particular learning styles, museums are at their best when they
empower individuals to design their own learning experience in ways
that resonate best with each individual.
