Perhaps if you had more specific questions, we could help. In the exhibits
I've studied, it doesn't look like the museum was in control of cognitive
learning.
The cognitive and affective goals that were written down, or can be inferred
from somewhat vague planning documents, are not met, or only to a small degree.
The answer to this seems to be to invoke a mysterious 'museum learning' that
we don't yet understand. I can send you some studies we've done.
I would be interested in any new approaches, methodology, data sets, etc. that
people have tried to pin this issue down.
