Dear Chris,

The idea is just great. It would be great to have all recently written papers on museum education. My name is Mila Škarić (1956. ) and have a year off (Archaeological museum in Zagreb, www.amz.hr, look for ARHIMIR, mascote) to finish my doctor thesis on museum education, ecomuseum principles and cultural turism in Croatia. At this moment I am writing more about the status of museum educators in Croatia, which is not a great one! So, somebody has to write about it too.

Sincerely ,

Mila
