> While it's easy to know exactly how many visitors attend an upcharge

> for traveling or special exhibits that come with the cost of admission.
> We have typically just used the exhibit admission number as a proxy for
> attendance at our non-upcharge traveling exhibits, but we are aware that
> not everyone who comes to visit sees everything in the museum - or a
> family may come often but only go into the traveling exhibit once.

> We have considered ways to get more accurate counts - for example just
> counting people as they go in or out, or asking people at the exit to
> the Science Center whether or not they saw the traveling exhibit. But
> our traveling exhibit hall has 3 entrances and our museum has 2 exits,
> so it would be really hard to count people either entering or leaving
> (not to mention the staff time!).
>
>
>
> I'm wondering whether anyone else has addressed this problem and how?
> Do you keep real counts of visitors to traveling exhibits or do you just
> estimate based on general exhibit admission, as we do? If so, do you
> use a proportion of some kind to deduct those who probably haven't gone
> in? Any ideas or solutions to share?
