Unlocking Interdisciplinary Learning: "Children Summer Takeover" at Hong Kong's Museum of Visual Culture
Dicky P. H. Yeung
Journal of Museum Education, v50 n2 p129-143 2025
Children Summer Takeover: Creative Day Camp demonstrates a transformative shift in the curatorial approach of museum learning at the newly opened M+ Museum in Hong Kong. Rather than simply curating for children or providing them with learning opportunities and family-friendly access, M+ redefines engagement by curating with children--fostering creative freedom and empowering young minds to take on active, authoritative roles within the museum. To shed light on the rarely practiced child-led approach for museum education of Hong Kong, this article seeks to conceptualize the programmatic work of the M+ Learning and Interpretation team while illuminating the inherent negotiation between curatorial and educational perspectives on defining museum learning programs. This study is significant in that it would expand the limited literature on curriculum design in non-formal education settings and offer insights that could inform the search for renewed direction in playful learning for children and families at museums, encompassing the interpretation of curatorial positioning of the museum learning, professional development of artist-teacher and museum educators, and co-constructed cross-generational learning experiences.
