Regarding Joshua Heuman's message about designing museum education programs for children that are fun and less lecture-oriented--- The Metropolitan Museum of Art, N.Y.C., has one of the most exciting museum education programs I have seen. As a junior high school teacher, I have participated in many of their courses in training teachers to motivate students in the classroom about particular museum exhibits. Their education staff at the Met is aware of the problem of lecture-only tours for children, and focus on developing a lifelong love of museums for children. You must follow Penny Prodow and her young students on Friday evenings to know what a serendiptous experience the children are having while they are learning about the treasures at the Met.
