I was wondering if I could get any ideas from those interested in this topic of whether or not such facilities within museums are effective and are they doing what they set out to do. I am presently doing a literature search/review including discovery learning and experiental learning but would appreciate any other suggestions i.e are there any articles which deal with the topic of education galleries and discvoery galleries that I just not been able to find yet. I would appreciate any suggestions, and those who are interested in this topic I will provide more info upon you reply. I only wanted to provide a brief synopsis of what I am interested in. Thank you in advance for you interest and assistance. Sincerely, Sandra Shaw Museum Studies Program, University of Toronto
