What is Museum Education? Museum Education is about educating the public about History, Science, Math, or English etc., but in an informal setting (not in a classroom or school).

Similarly, a museum education intern reads the students a book like the Ox Cart Man then places them in a market

Museums play a viable part in preserving a nation's past and spreading culture. Often times, a museum features artifacts from various regions of the world through which citizens of one country are able to experience a change in culture, whilst in the comfort of their own homes. This, however, leads to the issue of morality, in which the debate of whom the artifacts actually belong to and where they should go,in order to best preserve them for future generations arises. Museums currently return
Across the nation, thousands of people visit museums every day. While all of these thirty-five thousand and counting institutions can claim the same ancestry, their current forms are decidedly different. With “museum” being a polysemous word with many fluctuating connotations, substantial flexibility is allowed in terms of what exactly an individual museum will choose as their focus. In spite of this, museums are being placed under a growing pressure from the evolving society in relation to the
Dr. Staab BIO 1111-01 7 April 2014 Natural History Museums Funding for natural history museums and their work is very important; without natural history museums, the public would lack education about biology and the importance of it.

Museen1 (Possible Museums), which is dedicated to the development of museums for Modern and contemporary art. Together with different authors, we explored the potential of public museums for renewal and education as well as for (critical) reflection on social change by using ten examples from the past fifty years.

Interactive Museum Experiences “I am Richard Nixon, president from 1969 to 1974. I was a lawyer and studied at Duke University Law. I died in 1994,” says Marjorie Cozzens, age 8 (Dooley, 2003, p.

When people visit museums, they are presumably touring the attraction for the sense of enjoyment and entertainment. These buildings of historical valuables have become a destination for those who wish to fulfill their curiosity of knowing what has been rescued and refurbished from the past, and individuals who simply want to pass time.
