This was such a fun talk with a serious underpinning - displays of Asian art in many major Australian art galleries leaves a bit to be desired...

Cute study with young children in an art gallery using a "tonie" device to see if engages children more than an audio tour or text panel.

Answer is yes, and no.

What matters is the design, not the device.

And, that art galleries need to cater better for young children.

I also love Harriet's top!

Oh, and this planning template too 😊

Fascinating project from the National Gallery of Australia - the Creative Learning Approach, which can be found online here: nga.gov.au/learn/our-cr...

Great vision statement also!

This session gave me much to think about...

(But I had to duck out to try get Calvin Harris tickets and can reprot success!)

Bringing it all together - not new information for me but good to be reminded

Interetsing dichotomy between primary and high school students.

Although sample is small (see my last post!) these views pretty much align with many studies i have conducted with children - they love museums but want more to do and more stories to increase understanding.

#inclusivemuseum2026

From the research sessions picked up nice ways to describe sample sizes:

"Depth over breadth"

"Small sample, deep data"

"Grounded starting points for further exploration"

"Qualitative and exploratory"

"Understand behaviour and need, not statsticial representativeness"

What a fabulous and inspiring talk challenging museums to really think about how they interpret their Pacific collections, with who and how they foreground the political

And, its all grounded in family

Interesting way to explain the complexities and interconnectedness of Katerina's work

#inclusivemuseum2026

Compare the two

New York Natural History Museum

The Met

Pacific cultures are vibrant, living and diverse and museums need to be inclusive, celebrating this in their exhibitions and programs

Fascinating insights into the movement if phosphate from Pacific Islands across the world, and that phosphate is a critical mineral

And the movement to reclaim this narrative

And colonialism

Day 2 of #inclusivemuseum2026

Starting with a beautiful talk from Prof. Katerina Teaiwa: What the Pacific can teach us about the power and potential of inclusive museums

Here's my #LinkedIn round up of today, courtesy of #AI who I asked to trawl through my posts and write me a summary which I then edited...

From dialogue to thinking about what a museum could be...

#inclusivemuseum2026

Great question!

Inclusion not as an afterthought for a specific set of audiences

#inclusivemuseum2026

This is interesting for museums - visitors leave a mark, visitors 'play it forward'

#inclusivemuseum2026

'The opposite of play is not work, its depression' 🫨

#inclusivemuseum2026

Loving this expansion of looking at play as within a context:

Be in play / Be playful
