If anyone is willing
to share their evaluation tools for temporary exhibitions (specifically in art
museums), I'd greatly appreciate it. Currently, we ask visitors to rate
their response to things like the installation, lighting, readability of labels,
interest in the particular art objects, etc. but this is folded into a larger
survey with a more demographic focus (Age? Sex? Did you visit alone or with a
group? How often to you visit the museum? Did you shop at the museum store
or eat at the restaurant while you were here?). Although everybody in the
field agrees that attendance can't be the sole measure of an exhibition's
success any longer, it seems that we're all having trouble figuring out exactly
how to quantify what is often essentially an aesthetic experience. Thanks
in advance for any feedback!
