What do people learn from visiting museums and how do they learn
it? The editors approach this question by focusing on conversations
as both the process and the outcome of museum learning. People do
not come to museums to talk, but they often do talk. This talk can
drift from discussions of managing the visit, to remembrances of
family members and friends not present, to close analyses of
particular objects or displays. This volume explores how these
conversations reflect and change a visitor's identity,
discipline-specific knowledge, and engagement with an informal
learning environment that has been purposefully constructed by an
almost invisible community of designers, planners, and educators.
Fitting nicely into a small but rapidly expanding market, this book
presents: *one of the first theoretically grounded set of studies
on museum learning; *an explicit presentation of innovative and
rich methodologies on learning in museums; *information on a
variety of museums and subject matter; *a study on exhibitions,
ranging from art to science content; *authors from the museum and
the academic world; *a range of methods--from the analysis of
diaries written to record museum visits, to studies of preservice
teachers using pre- and post-museum visit tests; *an examination of
visitors ranging from age 4-75 years of age, and from known and
unknown sample populations; and *a lens that examines museum visits
in a fine grained (1 second) or big picture (week, year long) way.
