Children and their families can virtually travel the world exploring and learning together. By carefully looking at the objects they're seeing in the exhibits, children's minds become engaged and the objects become learning tools. Careful observation acts as a springboard for new thoughts and ideas, stimulating the use of critical thinking skills. Learning from objects is easiest when families know their children's learning style. Museums curators consider a variety of learning styles when designing exhibits.
Tour guides are also available for individuals with visual and hearing impairments.
Children are naturally curious and ask lots of questions. Talking with and listening to your children helps them gain confidence in their thinking and verbal skills and also helps you to know what your children understand. Collections and Collectors Museums hold many of the best collections in the world. Many people donate their precious collections to museums so that they can be shared with the public and also be preserved. In addition to giving collections a home, museums are collectors, adding to their collections as objects become available.
