The Museum of Early Trades and Crafts in Madison, NJ has a Discovery Room and
it is a history museum. You could contact them for more info.

I'm going to be giving a presentation about current practices in discovery
rooms. In doing my research, I have noticed two things that stand out to
me. First, there is not necessarily an accepted definition of what a
discovery room is and what it should be used for. Second, discovery rooms
seem to be limited primarily to science museums, zoos or natural history
museums. I would love to hear what you think about these two findings, what
you consider to be the definition of a discovery room, and if you have a
discovery room at your museum--what have been the struggles/successes.
Finally, is there any recent literature that you have seen on the topic. I
have found some, however, much of it is dated.
Thank you in advance for your input.
