In this chapter we explore the question of what families learn about art during visits to an art museum. Museums are informal learning environments that can be designed to provide experiences that reflect disciplinary thinking and support explanatory engagement (National Academy of Sciences, 2009, Learning science in informal environments: Places, people, and pursuits. Washington, DC: National Academies Press). Conversation is a natural part of a museum visit, and researchers have discovered that analyzing these conversations provides access to the processes of learning that take place in informal settings. Studying conversations allows researchers to explore the ways in which prior knowledge, motivation, and the specifics of a particular moment create a context in which a learning experience transpires. Science museums in particular have looked closely at the ways in which mediation helps to shape more fruitful learning experiences, and they have designed environments to support the learning of particular concepts or learning behaviors (Borun et al., 1998, Family learning in museums: The PISEC perspective. Philadelphia: The Franklin Institute; Humphrey, Gutwill et al., 2005, Fostering active prolonged engagement: The art of creating APE exhibits. Walnut Creek, CA: Left Coast Press).
