Museums

Continued from preceding page

ties; visiting the museum on
a Saturday may seem like an
unfair intrusion. On the other
hand, an after-school visit or
a brief after-Sunday School
excursion may be ideal.
NEW AND/OR SPECIAL
EXHIBITS
Make a point of noting that
museums have new exhibits.
Get a museum schedule for
your child so he can follow the
special exhibits and activi-
ties. Some children get the er-
roneous idea that the muse-
urn will always look exactly
the same. Differentiate be-
tween the permanent ex-
hibits and the ones that are
on loan.
ORCHESTRATING THE
TOUR
After your child has become
familiar with the museum, of-
fer him some decision-making
opportunities. Allow him to
select the exhibits and to plan
the itinerary. Let your child
invite a friend or two to the
museum. By involving your
child in the planning stages,
you increase a senses of "mu-
eum-ownership." By inviting
friends, your child can share
the museum experience.

AN ENJOYABLE
EXPERIENCE
The museum visit can be a
chance to introduce new edu-
cational experiences,
especially to the young child.
Some of the ways to incor-
porate learning skills with
the museum visit are to:
• Present your child with a
diary on the day of the first
museum visit.
• Encourage your child to
share "museum talk" with
someone special — maybe
Grandma or Grandpa.
• Create a museum activi-
ty with your child, such as
writing a poem about the mu-
seum or writing about a fa-
vorite work of art. Participate
in the activity yourself. (But
do not push an activity in
which your child shows no
interest.)
• Begin a museum visit
with a photo album in which
your child takes all of the
photographs that relate to the
day at the museum.
TIME FOR FUN
Most museums have won-
derful little restaurants and
fascinating gift shops. Con-
sider allowing your child to
make a small purchase from
the gift shop, as a souvenir of
the day. If possible, have
lunch or a snack in the res-
taurant, another "fun"
activity.
AND NOW, THE DON'TS
• Don't approach the muse-
um as a culture injection.
• Don't make the museum
a rainy-day-only activity.
• Don't become ego-in-
