This is an area of museology that really does need some serious research.davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12554570582471463273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37032121.post-35556890428074123182008-03-05T05:51:00.000-08:002008-03-05T05:51:00.000-08:00Nina, I like the list of "repeat ifs".

( and of course different repeat offenders, offend for different reasons).<BR/><BR/>One of your repeatables "outdoors" I think holds a nice combination, which is that odd ( but widely succsessful) mix of familiar with unexpected. Return to the same garden, same space- new experience/observations.<BR/><BR/>Some of us go to the malls for the same mix, open ended experiments, or the favourite exhibit you return to, ...<BR/><BR/>I know it will be good, I know where to park, I know I can get a good coffee and sit down.. I wonder who I'll see there?<BR/><BR/>So perhaps we need to see what it takes to get a visitor to leave EXPECTING a different experience IF they came back.<BR/><BR/>I;d also like to see what studies have been done on who decides to come back in a group or family. A lot of your points relate to a person and their motivation to return. We know many parents, grandparents (teachers, tour operators) bring their children, but do we know if ( what % of) the adults or the children are driving the decision.<BR/><BR/>cheersStuart Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505895535236146134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37032121.post-53631570604850294532008-03-04T06:01:00.000-08:002008-03-04T06:01:00.000-08:00REPEAT if it's easy...Visiting most museums is mor...REPEAT if it's easy...<BR/><BR/>Visiting most museums is more difficult than it should be.<BR/><BR/>Parking is a hassle, getting through the admissions process is confusing, special shows I want to see are sold out when I want to see them, floor staff are MIA, or unhelpful, etc. etc.<BR/><BR/>If the comparisons are Tetris, Facebook, and the local Starbucks, it's no contest.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand... repeat museum visitors are a determined and dedicated lot. What makes them overlook the annoyances to become loyal patrons?POW! (Paul Orselli Workshop, Inc.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05111591384018210698noreply@blogger.com
