Abstract

Visitor study is significant for museum’s development, but nowadays there is lack relevant research on the visitors experience of local museums in China. This project will focus on the whole family group in the context of child-oriented exhibitions (COE), study on visitors’ experience in the “visit” stage among the whole visit process. Qualities research methods, unobtrusive observations, online comments analysis and questionnaire will be conducted in domestic COE to figure out the experience elements of both “parent” and “child” group, then build an initial measurement framework base on Falk & Dierking’s Interactive Experience Model. This study has practical value for evaluating visitors’ experience and improving the design of local COE, making contributes to the continued development of Chinese domestics museums.
