Introduction
Most often, people have varied reasons why they love visiting museums. For children- they love visiting they learn and get entertained, parents may learn about parenting programs, educators are enlightened on teaching programs and curriculum. They also collect information on different subjects that help them expound during their tutoring. In essence, a museum is a place where everyone must find something interesting or significant that corresponds to his or her life. In accentuating on what I have already said, I explored randomly a couple of museum websites and hereunder is the evaluation I collected. Some of the websites navigated include but not limited to Smithsonian American Art Museum, National Gallery of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Modern Art among others.
A Visit to the Museum
From almost all the museums that I explored, child-friendly and resources were vastly covered. In some family programs for both parents and children was combined and they learn and get entertained together. Parents, caregivers and children are offered engaging gallery tours. Variety of artworks, including paintings, sculptures, snapshots, folk arts are available for both family and children (Schwarz, 1996). Children also find it interesting as they get access to coloring books, numerous kid activities and games and also some music. Some of the activities are accessed through the gallery tours while others are accessible online while still in the museum.
All the museums have research centers and programs which most favors teachers. The centers provide adequate information, variety of resources and training opportunities to the educators/teachers. Experts in various fields are hired to help in fortifying education both domestically and globally (Schwarz, 1996).
I found it very easy in navigating the site, there is a sequential order on the activities is covered, both in writing and on exhibition. One does not require to be guided in navigating different pages. It is as simple as it sounds!
