We have "touching tables" in each of our galleries which has examples of
objects as well as raw materials that people (I used to say children, but I
always got the response "and parents, too!") can handle and in some cases
try on (like our sealskin mukluks). The objects and material is keyed to
the specific culture area (Woodlands, Plains, etc.). Most of the objects
are less-than-museum quality, but still Native made. The materials include
various types of animal fur and skin, bone, turquoise, wild rice,
rattlesnake skin, etc.
Feel free to contact me directly for more information.

Hello All,
I am looking for examples of museums, gardens, arboreta, etc. that have
primarily an adult audience, but also serve children. I am specifically
interested in institutions that do not have (or ONLY have) separate
children's spaces (e.g. discovery rooms, children's gardens, etc.), but
create experiences for children throughout the public spaces. Has anyone
seen such a place? Do you know of challenges or happy stories associated
with this approach?
Thanks so much for any thoughts!
Aaron
