I am posting this for a colleague of mine, so please reply to him
directly or post to the list. Thanks.

 

Does anyone out there know of any visitor studies of 1) live
interpretation that examines visitor responses to the interpretation, or
2) live interpretation that compares visitor responses to the same
exhibition with, and without, live interpretation?   By live
interpretation, I mean an interpretation in which a person facilitates,
as in a tour, demonstration, activity cart, or 1st or 3rd person
interpretation.   I am always interested in museum theatre, so although
not my primary focus at this time, I would welcome information there as
well. 

 

I would appreciate any citations, or if available, electronic copies or
web links to the studies.

 

You can send any responses directly to me or to the list.  

 

Thanks much for your help.
