Abstract
Murl Deusing, director of the Museum of Science and Natural History of the Academy of Science, St. Louis, Missouri, describes children's activities. Museums are an open invitation. to children to explore and learn, but they also motivate children to explore beyond their walls. ISUSPECT THAT, AS A GROUP, CHILDREN are the greatest explorers in the world. They have what it takes-a vibrant curiosity and a deep desire for first-hand experiences. Museums, stressing as they do the presentation of real specimens and objects often in a realistic setting, offer great opportunities for first-hand experience with the unknown. It is no wonder that children, with their driving curiosity about the world around them, find the museum a challenging opportunity to explore and grasp it with considerable zest and enthusiasm. Museums are well aware that such compelling curiosity, when used intelligently, will produce creative endeavor; and they deliberately plan their exhibits and their educational programs toward this goal.
