While play in museums for children is not a new concept, there is little research on what play looks like for the adult visitor. This study investigates adult play in museum exhibits designed for family learning, using Stuart Brown’s (2010) typology of play. Thirty visitors were observed between five exhibits at the City Museum, St. Louis MO and Science World, Vancouver B.C. Results showed that adults do play in these exhibits, and that they engage in various types of play, typically favoring body/movement play. These findings can be used by museums to understand how to create active opportunities to fully engage adult visitors.

This study investigates the impact of implementing play in the art museum to educate and engage children aged 2 to 5, utilizing lessons learned from children’s museums. In order to establish themselves as welcoming and educative resources for children, the programing and exhibit design of art museums must support the unique needs of early learners, namely, learning through play. Within the museum field, children’s museums offer best examples of how play can be integrated into a museum environment to encourage early learning. This study was conducted in three stages using the methodology of grounded theory. The first stage investigated the educational practice grounded in play theory of the Boston Children’s Museum in Boston, Massachusetts by observing the play of children aged 2 to 5 at an exhibit in the Boston Children’s Museum. Based on this data, the second stage developed a play-based workshop for local pre-kindergartners. The third stage implemented this workshop at the Blanton Museum of Art, in Austin, Texas, collecting data through video recording and interview. Findings from this workshop led to the formation of the following grounded theory: the integration of play in the art museum affords children aged 2 to 5 a context for making meaning about the artworks, encouraging engagement with artworks and providing opportunities for child agency. Art museums can help children develop an awareness of themselves and the wider world, offering experiences to engage, teach, and empower young learners. But, first, they must learn how to play.

This book explores the histories and functions of museums while also looking at the current standing of museums and their ongoing efforts toward relevance, resiliency, and future-proofing. Section I examines the beginnings of museums with chapters dedicated to art and design museums; natural history and anthropological museums; science museums; museums focused history and the past; and gardens, zoos, and children’s museums. Emphasis is on museums in the United States, with some historical framing beyond the U.S. Section II explores the primary functions of museums, including conservation, exhibition, interpretation, engagement, and service. Section III examines museums from within by exploring critical issues and contemporary movements facing museums and our society: transparency and openness, labor and equity, belonging and coalition-building, risk-taking and risk aversion, and sustainability and empathy. Advocating for change rather than “death to museums,” Museums in Motion demonstrates the very premise that museums have been in motion all along, as they have shifted from their rather simple form of a treasury, storehouse, and tomb to something much more complex by deeply considering where museums have come from, where they are today, and where they are going. Entirely new to this edition, Section III (Museum Aspirations) features five new chapters, each centered around topics, rather than a museum type or museum function. Each topic is meant to be a micro-narrative and springboard for a conversation about museums today and their sustainability in the future. The chapters examine museums from the inside (museum workers and their voices, especially, as well as power held by people and institutions) and DEIA without using those individual words as chapter headings. On their own, or in conjunction with the chapters in the previous sections of this book, these chapters serve as vignettes that can help readers to understand where, how, and why we need to apply critical lenses to institutions and articulate how doing so helps us to understand this historical moment and, ultimately how we can realize resiliency and sustainability for museums and those who make their existence possible.

The popularity of video games has changed the way individuals from every demographic-age, race, gender and income-absorbs and processes information. Given this fact, museums have a strong interest in repurposing game technology to attract and engage a variety of museum learners. This project explores the potential to incorporate game design practices in museums in order to encourage active participation, interaction and collaboration on the part of visitors. By leveraging existing game technologies, the museum community stands to benefit from player engagement and immersion strategies which have already proven successful. Likewise, by incorporating such methods, museums can offer the "Nintendo generation" exciting new ways to interact with historic, cultural and scientific content in both physical and virtual environments. This project includes an in-depth background of the history of video game technology and culture, with an entire subsection devoted to games as learning platforms. The Findings section features game-based programs and exhibits which have already been piloted in museums and school classrooms. Finally, this study raises awareness among museum professionals about the pedagogical benefits of games by offering a set of recommendations about how electronic games can be used to support active learning.
