| Description |
Play and Learn 'Play and Learn' is a space on Floor 3 where families are welcome to go and read, draw, play and relax. For younger visitors there are fun things to do and space to respond and reflect on all their exploring. "Only when we understand the nature of play will we be able to understand how to better shape the destinies of human societies in a mutually dependent world, the future of our species, and perhaps even the fate of the biosphere itself." - Gordon Burghardt (Children’s Right To Play) The Happy Museum The world as we know it is changing, due to issues around the environment, sustainability and the economy. The Manchester Museum is one of six museums to be commissioned by The Happy Museum (funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation) to develop programmes which can help create a society which can thrive in this changing world, by valuing well-being and living in harmony with our surroundings as much as economic growth. These programmes explore a connection to the natural world; mental ‘wellness’ (rather than illness); museums as a place of healing; museums as a place of story and play; working with the homeless; stewardship of local communities and strong local partnerships. The Manchester Museum’s programme is called 'The Playful Museum' and looks at how Playful Museum Days help staff promote and explore playful behaviour in the museum to enhance well-being and happiness of children and families. Can museums be a physical place of undirected free play and challenge ideas about children’s behaviour? |
