Teacher education has underutilized the inclusion of art museum education experiences for preservice teachers (Henry, 2004). Teacher educators recognize that learning by doing is effective, which is why some early field experience is required in most teacher education programs (Darling-Hammond, 2006). Teacher education places preservice teachers in classrooms to learn. Why not place them in museums? This qualitative inquiry illuminates potential benefits for supervised preservice teachers to teach in art museums collaboratively. If art museum educators are hesitant to invite preservice teachers to teach art to children in their museums, their concerns can be addressed through existing research, and more research on this subject can help get more preservice teachers into museums.
