More than ten million adults visit children's museums annually, comprising over one third of total visitation to these institutions. When adults participate in children's museum exhibitions they enrich their own experiences and their children's-but too often exhibits are not developed with adults in mind, leaving them to their own devices, to chat with friends, sit and stare into space, or otherwise disregard the exhibit. This disconnect is reflected in the museum professional literature, which reports on few studies of adult visitors to children's museums, and offers even fewer models of exhibit development practices that incorporate techniques for assessing and improving adult visitors' experiences. To test methods for reducing this gap, I observed adult visitors to four Bay Area children's museum exhibits and interviewed museum staff who had contributed to the development of them. I found that on average adults spent less than half of their time actively participating in exhibit activities (manipulating exhibits or talking about them), but that exhibit components that were designed with adults in mind were more likely to engage them. Formative evaluation-brief, structured observations of adults using prototype exhibits-emerged from this study as the optimal means to better plan for adults in exhibits. These visitors are already coming to museums-exhibit development teams owe it to them and their children to provide an engaging experience for all ages.

Welcoming Young Children into the Museum provides all of the information practitioners need to consider when making the decision to engage with this audience and their carers. Meeting the reader where they are, this guide enables professionals to work towards outcomes that fit with their needs. Working methodically from the initial stages of bringing staff on board, through to implementation and evaluation, readers are carefully steered through each phase. Big-picture needs, like adherence to mission, are considered alongside logistical components, like cleaning schedules, to ensure that museums cater to young children in a way that is beneficial to both the visitors and the institution. Drawing on current neurological research and best practices in early childhood education and development, this guide presents case studies from a variety of different institutions around the world that demonstrate that creating interesting, developmentally appropriate opportunities for young children is about much more than just simplifying what is already on offer. Erdman, Nguyen and Middleton demonstrate that the age and needs of the visitors must be taken into careful consideration, as well as the assets and potential obstacles of the institution. Welcoming Young Children into the Museum will be essential reading for professionals working in museums large and small, regardless of type. It will be useful to those who are considering setting up new programmes for early years audiences and those with existing programmes, who would like to improve their offering.
