Pattern Place -- A Traveling Exhibition

识别、识别和操纵模式的能力是认识世界的基础。布鲁克林儿童博物馆（Brooklyn Children’s Museum， BCM）正在开发一个新的以收藏品为基础的巡回展览“Pattern Place”，向7至10岁的儿童介绍图案的结构、意义和重要性。展览将包括BCM收藏的一系列物品和开放式的动手探究技巧。这个占地1,200平方英尺的三语展览将于2002年在BCM开幕，然后在美国和加拿大的其他八个博物馆巡回展出。一系列的家庭节目编制、一个网站和一个可携带的博物馆工具包将提供进一步的传播和支持教育工作者将以实物为基础的调查纳入课堂课程。

The ability to identify, recognize and manipulate patterns is fundamental to knowing the world. Brooklyn Children's Museum (BCM) is developing "Pattern Place," a new collections-based traveling exhibition, to introduce children ages 7 to 10 to the structure, meaning and importance of patterns. The exhibition will incorporate an array of objects from BCM's collections and open-ended, hands-on inquiry skills. The 1,200-square-foot trilingual exhibition will open at BCM in 2002 and then travel to eight other museums in the U.S. and Canada. A range of family programming, a Web site and a portable museum kit will provide further dissemination and support educators in incorporating object-based inquiry into the classroom curriculum.
