The project sought to increase the numbers and level of engagement of Worcester Art Museum visitors. It compared two gallery designs and surveyed current patrons and prospective college student patrons. - Participant observation documented visitor engagement; a 500 person survey registered various degrees of awareness. Findings show that exhibits require in-depth descriptions, and staff needs technology training. Students are unaware of free admission and professors underutilize the museum. The salon style [remastered] gallery experienced greater visitor attention and time-in-gallery than traditional.
