Museums in Family Life: An Ethnographic Case Study

Abstract

The study presented in this chapter is part of a larger, ongoing research project that examines the lives of families who go to museums1 frequently. The larger research project has three goals: (1) to lay a foundation for conceptualizing the agendas of frequent museum-goers from a sociocultural perspective; (2) to make visible the ordinary social processes of family learning in museums; and, (3) to offer a systematic, theoretically grounded approach to the study of the role of museums in family life.
