Visiting museums has turned into classes and quizzes: Should children "roll" or "release" when entering museums? Parents | Children | Museums

"Did you remember everything? Repeat it!" Recently, while visiting a museum, citizen Jiao Yue met a parent who asked her child to memorize cultural relics information. "When visiting a museum, shouldn't children be allowed to see and experience it?" Like Jiao Yue, many visitors who teach children on site at museums hope that they won't be "caught up" in the museum. However, in the eyes of some parents, museums already have entry barriers. If cultural relics, history, and art education are not provided to children, it is difficult for them to gain anything from a sheep herding style visit. Moving classrooms into cultural and museum venues for on-site teaching of cultural relics and artworks has become a norm overseas, and in recent years, there have been many attempts in China. Entering museums for research and learning has become a popular project this summer. However, there are different requirements for what to teach and how to learn in museums.
