Resumo(s)
Families with young children typically struggle to engage with traditional art museum environments. This research examined the impact of multisensory tools on family engagement within Mathaf: Arab
Museum of Modern Art, Qatar. Sixty families with at least one child aged 0–11 were observed during two tasks. One task required participants to look at a series of paintings to select their favorite. In another task, families were given a toolkit of multisensory items to facilitate interaction with a painting. A semi-structured observational method produced quantitative and qualitative data about participant
engagement and intergenerational interaction. Self-rating scores of
task enjoyment were also collected. Results indicate that multisensory
tools enhance family engagement with museums, artworks, and
each other. Results also suggest that word-based interpretation was
not necessary. We consider the potential implications of these findings
in relation to family programming within art museums and
museums more generally.
