>Hi All,

>I am hoping you can help me with the title of a paper on a museum 
>exhibit study I read a while ago.
>
>The authors classified a number of exhibits at a science center or 
>museum according to whether they were interactive or not, hands-on 
>or not - and a number of other categories that I unfortunately 
>cannot remember. The authors then formulated a hypothesis on which 
>exhibits ought to be the most well-visited and which would be less 
>well-visited according to their classification. They then tested 
>their hypothesis by observing the actions of visitors to the museum.
>
>Does this ring a bell with anyone? (I might have some of the details 
>wrong, but that's the gist of it.)
>
>Thank you very much for your help.
