This article considers the value and role of early years music and sound activities in museum spaces – in relation to children themselves, as well as to their families and wider communities. The article reviews literature around early years music and sound activities; early childhood and the museum; and the use of music and sound in museum spaces – reflecting on reconceptualisation’s of the child within museum spaces and in relation to music and sound. In particular, the article highlights gaps in the literature that present an opportunity to explore the role of music and sound with young children (and particularly with so-called ‘hard-to-reach’ communities or families) within museums.

幼儿在博物馆空间中的音乐和声音体验：来自文学的教训，趋势和转折

本文考虑了早期音乐和声音活动在博物馆空间中的价值和作用–与儿童自身，家庭及其更广泛的社区有关。本文回顾了早期音乐和声音活动方面的文献；幼儿和博物馆；以及在博物馆空间中使用音乐和声音–反映儿童在博物馆空间中的重新概念化以及与音乐和声音的关系。尤其是，本文重点介绍了文献中的空白，这为在博物馆内与幼儿（尤其是所谓的“难以到达”的社区或家庭）探讨音乐和声音的作用提供了机会。
