Editor's Notes
- #4: We are motivated by a problem we see with art museums: people come to art museums to explore and learn about art, however, this learning is sometimes hard to achieve.
- #10: Interview in context at the UMMA Observation session at UMMA exhibit Visit to the DIA
- #15: Aware: Visitors with little or no experience who are not really comfortable looking at or describing art. They may have been brought to the museum by someone else. Curious: Visitors who "like art but are not in love with it." They enjoy the social dimension of museum experience and connections that can be made between art and other parts of their lives. Committed: Either educated art consumers who like to be left alone or art enthusiasts who "love art as much as sex and religion" and can't get enough of it, not to mention programs around it.
