What a Physics Student Can Teach us About How Visitors Walk Around an Exhibition
From the Smithsonian blog which highlights some of the limitations of how we assess the successes and failures of exhibition layout and route design and suggests ways to improve/expand how we evaluate.
This is a fascinating look at how people move through museum exhibits and their different ways of looking at/interacting with the exhibit. (I am really tempted to do some tracking doodles myself, even though our tiny exhibit space (within a library) doesn’t really warrant it. But we’re getting new cases in a new location, so maybe I’ll just sit for a few minutes on random days and do some people-watching and doodling…)
