Abstract
Authors propose that the real ultimate objective of museum teaching should be conceived as offering the visitor a certain kind of experience. Citing John Dewey's key concept of 'an experience', they describe how the experience of viewing a work of art unfolds slowly in time, through observation, conversation, and the proposal of possible meanings, to arrive at synthesis and a sense of understanding.
