The editors approach this question by focusing on conversations as both the process and the outcome of museum learning. People do not come to museums to talk, but they often do talk. This talk can drift from discussions of managing the visit, to remembrances of family members and friends not present, to close analyses of particular objects or displays. This volume explores how these conversations reflect and change a visitor's identity, discipline-specific knowledge, and engagement with an informal learning environment that hMuseumsEducational aspectsMuseum exhibitsSocial aspectsMuseum visitorsEducationMuseum techniquesStudy and teaching (Higher)MuseumsStudy and teaching (Higher)Non-formal educationElectronic books.MuseumsEducational aspects.Museum exhibitsSocial aspects.Museum visitorsEducation.Museum techniquesStudy and teaching (Higher)MuseumsStudy and teaching (Higher)Non-formal education.069/.071Crowley Kevin885701Knutson Karen885702Leinhardt Gaea885703MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455358303321Learning conversations in museums1977748UNINA
