Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Architecture of the museum and the
relationship with the public
To: [log in to unmask]
Dear all,
I am registered on the MA in Museum Studies at the
University of
Leicester
(UK).
I am currently gathering information and data to write
my dissertation.
My research is about:
the current and potential role of museum architecture
in the
relationship
between the museum and the general public.
I would like to focus on the outside architecture, the
envelope of the
museum building.
I am interested in all sorts of museums (art
galleries, science, social
history...).
Is museum architecture attractive for a wide range of
people,
sustaining
the efforts of museum staff to reach new audiences?
Or, on the other hand, is museum architecture
repulsive and
off-putting,
playing against the efforts of staff inside the museum
to widen the
audience and make their collections more accessible?
I am interested in hearing about and reading all sorts
of visitor
surveys
and marketing research enquiring on this issue:
- the relation between the museum and the public
through its venue,
- the perception of the museum building by the public,
both visitor and
non
visitor.
Thank you in advance for your interest and your
information.
