ABSTRACT

Museum education has changed fundamentally in the last 14 years and no longer do new or aspiring museum educators have to reinvent the wheel or learn their skills on their own. Programming in museums across the country is solid, often ingenious and geared to the interests and needs of various constituencies. Special exhibitions are ac­ cessible on many levels through interpretive techniques that are versatile and imaginative. The training programs that have been developed are respected and their graduates are sought after for positions.
