Kids have profound and important relationships to the past, but
they don't experience history in the same way as adults. For museum
professionals and everyone involved in informal history education
and exhibition design, this book is the essential new guide to
creating meaningful and memorable connections to the past for
children. This vital museum audience possesses many of the same
dynamic qualities as trained historian--curiosity, inquiry, empathy
for the human
experience--yet traditional history exhibitions tend to focus on
passive looking in the galleries, giving priority to relaying
information through words. D. Lynn McRainey and John Russick bring
together top museum professionals to present state-of-the-art
research and practice that respects and incorporates kids'
developmental stages and learning preferences and the specific ways
in which kids connect to history. They provide concrete tools for
audience research and evaluation; exhibition development and
design; and working with kids as "creative consultants." The only
book to focus comprehensively on history exhibits for kids,
Connecting Kids to History With Museum Exhibitions shows how to
enhance the experiences of a vitally important but frequently the
least understood museum audience.
