As a former teacher/assistant teacher to K-6th grade level students, you would be surprised at how interested children can be when it comes to learning about how something works (e.g., museum operations, what the museum does, how the employees makes the museum interesting to the public)..as long as you make it fun. I took a class to a an art gallery and the public library..they were excited about the hi-tech conveyer belt that carried the returned library books through the building and the ceiling and finally to the storage room, where you can see the books dropped by a robotic arm into their proper shelves.
