Please tell me what kind of "collection" a children's science museum should
have.
Properly designed and staffed exhibits provide a great deal of learning.
Children learn more by doing things than from having their parents read the
little tags on a
room full of artifacts to them.
Blessed are the parents who will discuss exhibits of "collections"
to their children - for their children shall inherit a love of historical
museums.
Lighten up folks - not every one learns in the same way.
Children and adults have multiple intelligences and a choice in venues is
positive.
Perhaps you should spend less time belittling those who are different and
more time learning new ideas.
