Find meaningful ways to incorporate visitors’ voices into your institutional programmes. Aimed at museum exhibition developers, educators, marketers, technologists and anyone working in museums and art galleries, the seminar examines techniques for: · Developing exhibit and programme components that invite visitors to participate during a museum visit· Helping visitors feel welcomed to the museum and providing them with experiences (tours, objects, exhibits, activities) that are customised to their particular interests· Identifying objects that promote conversation, and designing exhibitions that encourage people to have dialogue around the artefacts· Thinking about how each visitor's experience or stories can be accessed and used to make the exhibition more interesting to other visitors.
