Children designers in the museum

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the application of a participatory design methodology with children, developed within the context of an informal educational institution, specifically the National Gallery of Art in Athens, Greece. A group of 11 year-olds spent part of their summer learning about art conservation in order to design an on-line art education program targeted to children of their age. This paper presents the research, design, and prototype development process, and discusses the lessons-learned, challenges, and future possibilities of this methodology with respect to the design of museum education programs and exhibitions.
