- Abstract
The article discusses the participation of children as curators for the exhibition "Shhh...It's a Secret!" held at the Wallace Collection in London, England. The exhibition was proposed by the museum's Learning Department in order to create a family-friendly exhibition and invited 12 children from the St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Primary school to curate the exhibition. The children learned about curating and worked with all departments of the museum to make decisions for the exhibition. The exhibition received positive media coverage. Quotations from the participating children are included.
