COLLECTING WORDS AND WORKSHOP
Why do they come?Museum Learning at the Core of our Work
“Museum visitors come to museums and bring the whole of their lives with them.” Eilean Hooper-Greenhill
“People do not come to museums for us. We tend to think that people are there to see the stuff that we’ve got here. But that is not true… They are not coming because of us, they come because of themselves!” John Falk
