You also ask for suggested 'quotes' for people who are not museum 
professionals. Maybe the most important thing to tell solemn-faced 
adult visitors is to take their hands out of their pockets. How about:

Play is the highest form of research
Albert Einstein

or

Learning is by nature, curiosity.
Philo

or

'Why,' said the Dodo, 'the best way to explain it is to do it.'
Lewis Carroll

or

To a man who has not eaten a globe fish, we cannot speak of its flavour.
Taibai -1842

or

Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your Teacher.
William Wordsworth 1770-1850

or

I never let schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain
