Book Synopsis
Advocates an expanded concept of learning for museums, and for more formal schooling environments.

Trade Review
An outstanding feature of this significant contribution to the museum research literature is the authors' detailed discussions of their assumptions as well as choices—both practical and theoretical—they had to make in shaping this monumental study. -- George E. Hein, Lesley University * Visitor Studies Today *
The message for museums in Listening in on Museum Conversations is to expand the boundaries of visitor and researcher information as unique forums in which to study language, action, and thought among informally constructed groups of people unconstrained by formal objectives for learning. * Muse *
