University of Pittsburgh (University of Pittsburgh, Learning Research & Development Center)

The University of Pittsburgh will use its grant to explore questions such as: What do families learn about art, culture, and history by visiting art museums? How can art museums design in-gallery mediation to support more powerful forms of visitor learning? What are the learning opportunities presented by different kinds of art museums? This project is a research and design collaboration between the University of Pittsburgh Center for Learning in Out-of-School Environments (UPCLOSE) and four Pittsburgh museums.
