An essential resource for museum professionals, teachers, and
students, the award-winning Teaching in the Art Museum (Getty
Publications, 2011) set a new standard in the field of gallery
education. This follow-up book blends theory and practice to help
educators—from teachers and docents to curators and
parents—create meaningful interpretive activities for children
and adults. Written by a team of veteran museum educators,
Activity-Based Teaching in the Art Museum offers diverse
perspectives on embodiment, emotions, empathy, and mindfulness to
inspire imaginative, spontaneous interactions that are firmly
grounded in history and theory. The authors begin by surveying the
emergence of activity-based teaching in the 1960s and 1970s and
move on to articulate a theory of play as the cornerstone of their
innovative methodology. The volume is replete with sidebars
describing activities facilitated with museum visitors of all ages.
