Research in museum's has a long history and recent education theory acknowledges, even promotes the object-based, experiential, thought-provoking and problem-soving type of learning in which museums excel. The overriding conclusion is that museums offer
visitors profound, long-lasting and even life-changing experiences. Research and theory are at last coming together to substantiate the essential contribution museums make to the broad endeavour of learning forlife.
