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

Give people facts and you feed their minds for an hour.
Awaken curiosity and they feed their own minds for a lifetime.
