American Association for State & Local History

This study of visitor behavior in educational exhibitions includes an easy-to-use method for assessing the impact of exhibitions by examining the amount of time visitors spend in exhibits and where they pay attention. The author discusses a database that tracks the length of time people spend in exhibitions and where they stop, defines variables, and presents two new indexes for comparing visitor use of exhibitions. Case studies show how the indexes have been used to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of exhibitions.

American Alliance Of Museums

Renowned museum consultant and researcher Beverly Serrell and a group of museum professionals from the Chicago area have developed a generalizable framework by which the quality of museum exhibitions can be judged from a visitor-centered perspective. Using criteria such as comfort, engagement, reinforcement, and meaningfulness, they have produced a useful tool for other museum professionals to better assess the effectiveness of museum exhibitions and thereby to improve their quality. An attached CD includes a brief video demonstrating the Excellent Judges process and provides additional illustrations and information for the reader. Tested in a dozen institutions by the research team, this step-by-step approach to judging exhibitions will be of great value to museum directors, exhibit developers, and other museum professionals.
