Routledge : Working with Young Children in Museums Book

Working with Young Children in Museums: Weaving Theory and Practice offers a significant contribution to the research regarding young children in museums, galleries, and heritage sites. This volume from the Global Perspectives on Children in Museums series helps bridge the gap between academic theory and practical application. By introducing theoretical concepts in a clear and concise manner, the book provides useful insights for everyday museum programming. It is structured around three key themes designed to move beyond the standard socio-cultural learning models found in most museum learning literature. Instead, it introduces a body of theories, including new materialist perspectives, to provide a fresh look at how children interact with collections. This book is an essential resource for professionals looking to expand their understanding of child-centered engagement in cultural institutions.
