Bulletin
Children, Schools, Children in Museums
An article on children within museums and how they want to develop children's clubs for over the holidays and for them to be just as important as the Museum's school service. Seems to get people visiting because they were introduced through school or even those who may no have come. They believe that they can provice a better edcuation and experience for children because they are not 'forced to listen whether they like it or not' like in school.
