Kids with cameras

Children love visiting museums - there is so much to see, explore, discover and learn. Children see things very differently from adults, and often notice parts of museums that are unseen to an adult's eye. To select images for AMARC's website, four children were given a digital camera and took pictures of whatever they wanted in the public areas of the Museum. They were also asked to write about their favourite part of the Australian Museum.
