Introduction: A new age of digital revolution in children's art education calls for creative teaching strategies. With its immersive and interactive qualities, virtual museum technology presents special chances to foster children's creative growth, creativity, and involvement.
Objective: With a focus on organized, kid-centered experiences that encourage in-depth learning and engagement, this research offers a conceptual model for virtual museums designed specifically for kids' art education.
Method: Three rounds of expert review were used to verify the model. The model's theoretical worth, applicability, and flexibility were emphasized in expert input, which also offered helpful recommendations for its development.
Results: The results show that this conceptual model provides useful advice for creating virtual museum settings that successfully enhance kids' art education. Prototype creation and empirical studies will be part of future research to assess the model's effects on learning outcomes, engagement, and creative development.
Conclusión: The proposed conceptual model offers a structured framework for leveraging virtual museums to enrich children’s art education, fostering creativity, engagement, and deeper learning. Its validation through expert review underscores its theoretical and practical relevance, with future research set to explore its real-world educational impact.
