Hooper-Greenhill, Eilean, 1994, The Educational Role of the Museum . London : Routledge. (+1999 edition).
Hooper-Greenhill introduces and contributes to a collection of papers covering a variety of subject areas including; evaluation, interactive displays, 'museum education'; running focus groups in museums and visitor studies. The 1999 edition includes additional papers.
Hooper-Greenhill, Eilean, 'A Museum Educator's Perspective' in Chadwick, Alan and Stannett, Annette (editors), 1995, Museums and the Education of Adults . Leicester : NIACE.
This chapter begins with a justification for museums as 'appropriate places for lifelong learning' and then goes on to put forward a number of examples of ways in which this marriage can be achieved; including courses and outreach work. Hooper-Greenhill concludes that education departments still suffer from budgetary and resource restrictions, and that (especially adult) education needs to undergo a 'radical change in philosophy'.

An interesting look at performance at Wigan Pier and the Museum and Science and Industry Manchester. Bagnall enlightens discussion around audiences and visitors (and the point within heritage site performance where the two overlap), and places that overlap within a world saturated by images and narratives of history. The discussion also looks at the difference cognitive and affective learning outcomes of performance at heritage sites, and asks questions about the appropriateness or otherwise of emotional and imaginative engagement, and the awakening of personal memory through performance.
