Museum guides training on integrating the Nature of Science in Natural History Museum tours

Anna Pshenichny-Mamo was invited to lead a specialized training course for museum guides at the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History. The course focused on practices of integrating the nature of science into museum tours, drawing on insights from her doctoral research on the integration of the nature of science in natural history museums.

Throughout the training program, emphasis was placed on integrating aspects of the nature of science into guided tours. By doing so, museum guides can empower visitors with a deeper understanding of scientific processes, fostering more engaging, meaningful, and thought-provoking experiences for visitors of all ages. The aim is to ignite curiosity and cultivate a profound appreciation for science and the natural world.
