摘要：

In the 1970's and 1980's science museums pioneered active discovery learning in museums, and science centres devoted to interactive exhibits opened in their hundreds, and are still opening today. All of this activity was focused on the learning needs of children, and science museums rather overlooked adult audiences. This article examines some reasons for this, and the debate in the science community today about how to communicate science to adults. It further explores how adults learn in museums, what science museums currently offer the adult public, and what they might expect to find in the future.
