Viz the previous thread about the safety/appropriateness/desirability/etc.
of small children in museums, I offer the following image:

For some of you, it will horrify you and only serve to confirm the notion
that children are a danger to the collections.

For everyone else, I hope it's good for a laugh.

To me, it also demonstrates how compelling museums are for young children,
what rich environments they are for discovering the world, and how easily
they can be engage everyone on some level. Talk about the learning paradigm
that says begin with what's familiar to the learner!

Enjoy,
Steve
