Summary: | This paper presents a narrative study of art educational meetings. The purpose of this study is to investigate what stories have been created about young people's curiosity and the circumstances that contribute to awaken engagement in the encounter with art. Five interviews have been conducted with art and museum educators. The stories collected through the interviews are analyzed with narrative analysis. This is then interpreted through a framework built on research on creativity, curiosity, and art educational meetings. Together, these starting points create an opportunity to show the variety of stories that exist regarding young people's curiosity. My conclusion is that there are several different stories about how art educational meetings are staged and how to act to create curiosity. Even the circumstances that contribute to the creation of curiosity consist of several different stories. Each individual story gives transparency to the importance of curiosity in meeting with art.
