Evaluating Exhibits for Children: What Is A Meaningful Play Experience?

January 1, 1993 | Exhibitions
This paper examines the summative evaluations of two exhibits at the Please Touch Museum: "Foodtastic Journey" and "Gateway to China". By contrasting and comparing the most and least engaging components of these two exhibits, a theoretical framework is being built for assessing the effectiveness of exhibits for young children.
