Docents part 3

We went again today to the docent training. This time we met in the auditorium and they went over different learning styles with a focus on children. They went over basic theorists like Piaget and Gardner and in between we had different ideas on how to make the tours appeal to kids of all ages. They were really into making it tactile and sensory. For example, in front of the Niagara painting they would ask "what do you hear, smell, feel, taste, etc". I also found out that the collection is really going to change soon and they are taking down the Majolica!!!! No fair, it is my favorite! Oh well, that is life in a museum.
