During the course of an interactive museum tour an educator will be able to elicit a range of responses, conversation, and new discoveries that engage the broadest spectrum of museum learners.

To engage the entire group in the interpretive process, museum educators frequently employ gallery activities to enlist other sensory components and learning styles to more fully experience the art.

This handbook provides a compendium of successful gallery activities:

  • Writing
  • Debating
  • Drawing
  • Movement
  • Music
  • Critical observation
  • Touch and tactility

Features include:

  • Photographs of youth and adults participating in gallery activities
  • Sidebars with favorite gallery activities contributed by museum educators at many museums across the country
  • Planning templates
