Dea Birkett, director of Kids in Museums, wants to put children where they belong – with the rest of us
Who doesn’t want more for kids? Eureka!, the National Children’s Museum in Halifax, is hoping to develop a children’s museum for London in the developing King’s Cross area.

I know it sounds like an odd position for the director of an organisation called Kids in Museums, but I prefer places which aren’t just for the young. There’s a difference between more opportunities for children in museums, and more children’s museums. I personally believe that kids have the best time in a museum when there are also lots of adults there, also having a good time.
