Abstract: Theories of education and research about museum visitos are examined to determine definitions of effective learning and practical applications. Educational philosophy, learning models and environment and program design most appropriate for an art museum setting are identified, as well as planning strategies for the implementation of a multi-generational learning space. A case study of the planning for the FingerPrints Interactive Gallery at the Plains Art Museum is also included.
