Seems to me that interactivity is another form of education, but one that is much less age-based. Europeans often say that we in the United States don't have a very good attitude about children, we isolate them from adults too much and treat them like personal property rather than as part of the whole community. Do European museums put as much emphasis on museum education aimed at children as we do? I've never noticed any, but then I wasn't looking. In New York the 20-somethings from Europe I run into (we seem to be a magnet for the French lately) seem much more mature than Americans the same age. Or am I just getting old?
