WORKSHOP FULL

Exhibition Evaluation: Strategies for Implementing the Results of Visitor Studies
Does evaluation seem too costly, too time-consuming, or worse, not
worthwhile? This RAP presents two recent projects in which evaluation
played a critical role in exhibition development through assessing visitor
engagement and comprehension. The exhibitions, one botanical and one
historical, each went on to receive the Excellence in Exhibitions awards
from the American Association of Museums, in part due to the evaluation
process.

In this intensive workshop, you will visit both exhibitions and make direct
links between them and how staff used evaluation to meet their own goals,
implement specific changes spurred by evaluation, and the processes the
evaluators used that supported exhibition development.

Use this professional training RAP to learn about the methods, pitfalls, and
actions taken by the development teams with the goal of developing clear
strategies for evaluating your own exhibitions.
