The Association of Children’s Museums (ACM) is pleased to circulate the Learning Value of Children’s Museums Research Agenda. While this document is called a research agenda, if you prefer to think of it as roadmap or a framework for research, please do so. What it’s called is of less importance than what it represents: the summary of a field-wide process to identify and prioritize what needs to be known about children’s museums, the learning that takes place in them, and the impact they have on the lives of the children, families, and communities they serve. This research agenda also represents a pivotal milestone in the children’s museum field as it marks the starting point for developing a collective, evidence-based body of knowledge that can be used across institutions to improve practice, build theories of learning, and demonstrate the unique value of children’s museums.
