Question for the #museum & #heritage hiveminds: can you recommend any audience research into the motivations & reactions of visitors to historic houses? There was an excellent study by Cadw (Barriers to visiting heritage  sites 2022) and the equally excellent paper by Aileen Peirce ( “It Feels Like You Have Stepped Back in Time” 2020) but other than that I can find next to nothing. #museums #audienceengagement #visitorengagement #visitorexperience #audienceresearch

Day 10 #museum30 Observe. Observation is a powerful methodology for evaluating museum exhibitions. It complements other techniques such as interviews, focus groups and questionnaires because it reveals what visitors overlook, ignore, forget or choose not to mention. And it provides much more reliable measurements of dwell times than visitors’ self-report. #exhibition #exhibitions #visitorexperience #visitorengagement #exhibitiondesign #museums #museum #heritage #evaluation #heritage

Today's museum question: Would you expand the definition "Museum experience" off-site/outdoors? Or would you prefer the term "Heritage experience"? And what would DMO:s catch onto? What would audiences embrace? I am referring to more complex museum-led experiences than f.ex. guided tours or trekking with a heritage pod in your ears. :) (AI-image for attention)

When forming your policy on cataloguing, it is important to consider what the target 'basic' catalogue record for different parts of the collection should look like, and why. 🔗 https://buff.ly/3LcWWOv #PrimaryProcedures #MuseumDocumentation #Museums
