    Kids in Museums Takeover Day Report 2012

    REPORT 2012 REPORT CONTENTS PAGE NO Introduction 2 Museum of London Docklands 3-4 How did Takeover Day change what children thought about museums? The Wallace Collection 5-6 What made Takeover Day special for children? Summary 7 APPENDICES Case Studies 8-15 1 ‘I think museums aren’t so boring any more’ REPORT INTO CHILDRen’S EXPERIENCES OF TAKEOVER DAY 2012 Takeover Day 2012 was the biggest yet. Over 1800 children from 85 museums, galleries, historic homes and science centres had an amazing opportunity to be in charge for the day. Funded by Arts Council England and working in partnership with the Children’s Commissioner for England, Kids in Museums supported and encouraged heritage organisations to take part. In 2011, museums told us of the many benefits they had experienced from involving children and young people in this way; in 2012 we wanted to know more about what impression the experience had left on the children. 2 MUSEUM OF LONDON DOCKLANds HOW did TAKEOVER DAY chANGE whAT chiLdrEN THOUGHT ABOUT MUSEUms? The museum worked with two classes of Year 6 pupils in the lead-up to Takeover Day to train them as gallery hosts, researching gallery stories and presenting them to visitors on the day. Mind maps were used to ask the children what they thought about visiting museums before and after the event to see if the experience had influenced their opinion of museums. Before Takeover Day, although most children were positive about museums, there were plenty of negative comments, mainly that museums were ‘boring’. After Takeover Day, not only had the number of positive comments almost doubled, but the ratio of positive to negative significantly increased from 2:1 to 14:1.
