The Thinking Museum® Approach
Over the past 13 years I have developed an approach with engagement at its core, for educators to easily use on guided experiences.
The Thinking Museum® Approach is a way to engage audiences with what they are looking at, who they’re with and where they are. It fosters meaningful connections: between educators and participants, amongst the participants themselves, and with the artwork or object being explored.
