Snapshots of Museum Experience uses a method of photo-elicitation with child visitors to the museum in order to investigate children's experience, rather than the usual focus on museum learning. By so doing, the book undermines many of our assumptions about the interests, needs and demands of child museum visitors.

Elee Kirk was a Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Education at University College London, UK.
