During the course of an interactive museum tour a skilled educator
will be able to elicit multiple responses and keep the conversation
moving toward new discoveries, but no matter how competent the
educator, there will always be some participants who
enthusiastically contribute their ideas to the discussion, while
others listen, but are reluctant to speak-up. In order to engage
the entire group in the interpretive process, museum educators
frequently employ gallery activities. Gallery activities enlist
other sensory components and learning styles to experiencing the
work of art. As in crafting open-ended discussion questions, the
activity must be carefully designed to allow everyone in the group
to contribute, be inquiry based, and be directly related to the
work of art under consideration. This handbook provides a
compendium of successful gallery activities: *Writing *Debating
*Drawing *Movement *Music *Close looking and observation *Touch and
tactility Features include: *Photographs of youth and adults
participating in gallery activities *Sidebars with favorite gallery
activities contributed by museum educators at many museums across
the country *Planning templates
