Abstract:

The purpose of this project was to find out what kinds of playful learning experiences museums are offering teens. It explored how teens actually enjoy engaging in play inside museums, and gathered their opinions on what kinds of experiences they would like to see. It explores how design and expectations in exhibit spaces contribute to teen engagement and provide permission to play in the space. This project also looks at the general relationship between museums and their teen audiences.
