>INVITATION
>
> From Content to Play:
>Family Oriented Interactive Spaces in Art and History Museums
>A Symposium
>
>The J. Paul Getty Museum Education Department invites you to attend a
>symposium to be held June 4-5, 2005, at the Getty Center in Los Angeles,
>California.
>
> From Content to Play is inspired by the renovation of the Getty Museum's own
>interactive space geared toward family audiences. Museums often approach the
>planning and design of these spaces with diverse goals, objectives, methods,
>and processes and meet with varied outcomes and measures of success. This
>symposium will provide a forum for both active conversation and
>collaboration. It aims to bring together professionals whose work focuses on
>or informs interactive spaces specifically designed for family audiences in
>art and history museums. The symposium will be of particular interest to
>museum professionals, researchers, child development specialists,
>architects, and designers. During two days of presentations and discussions,
>the symposium will address the ways that these spaces can best respond to
>the needs, learning styles, and experiences that family audiences bring to
>their museum visits, as well as the merits and challenges posed by different
>design approaches. Presenters are being selected by a competitive process.
