Abstract

This research examines an educational experience during "Museum Night" aimed at promoting engagement and agency in the learning processes of a group of future early childhood educators. Using a qualitative design, data were collected in three phases: before, during, and after the visit to museums and galleries. The analyses indicate that the exhibitions act as agents communicating with visitors through curatorial choices, fostering interest, participation, inquiry, and proactive learning.
