During the pandemic many museums and galleries pivoted from onsite, in-person delivery to develop a remote offer and to create digital learning resources and activity packs for children and young people. In this article, I draw upon my experience as practitioner researcher on the schools and teachers’ programme at the Fitzwilliam Museum to consider different approaches to supporting participatory creative pedagogies while the museum was closed. After discussing how the work built on and extended existing programming for this audience, I consider effective strategies for facilitating authentic and inclusive encounters with objects and artworks remotely. While some were empowered to take part and to engage, others were locked out through the ever widening social and digital divide. How can we overcome these challenges and make the most of the opportunities which this work has revealed? What are the implications of this work for our understanding of the role, function and future of museum and gallery learning?

挑战与机遇：大流行期间博物馆和画廊学习的创新方法

在大流行期间，许多博物馆和画廊从现场亲自交付转向开发远程服务并为儿童和年轻人创建数字学习资源和活动包。在这篇文章中，我利用我作为菲茨威廉博物馆学校和教师项目从业者研究员的经验，考虑在博物馆关闭期间支持参与式创意教学法的不同方法。在讨论了该作品如何为这些观众构建和扩展现有节目之后，我考虑了有效的策略，以促进远程与对象和艺术品的真实和包容的相遇。虽然有些人有权参与和参与，但其他人却因不断扩大的社会和数字鸿沟而被拒之门外。我们如何才能克服这些挑战并充分利用这项工作所揭示的机会？这项工作对我们理解博物馆和画廊学习的角色、功能和未来有何影响？
