Museum Experience Consultant
Are you thinking about hiring a museum experience consultant to create a new exhibition for your interactive museum ?
Visitors are looking for more than exhibits; they want museum experiences. A museum experience is an immersive omnichannel approach to museum visitor engagement. By thoroughly understanding visitors and communities’ requirements, you create emotional and intellectual connections between your museum and visitors. Since 1999 Museum Planning, LLC has been serving as a museum experience consultant.
1. Museum Audience Research
The process starts with museum visitor research; who are you, visitors? What visitors are you not serving? How do you engage with currently unreached visitors? By understanding your visitors on both an emotional and intellectual level, our process strengthens the connections with current audiences and reaches new audiences.
2. Museum Strategic Planning
Starting with knowledge of your visitors (those being reached and new audiences), we now create strategies and tactics to reach, engage, and drive repeat visitor engagement.
3. Museum Experience Design – Exhibition Design, Digital and In-Person
Creating a museum experience is about more than creating an exhibition. A museum experience creates emotional and intellectual connections between visitors and communities at every touchpoint, including exhibitions, programming (online and in-person), social media, and community outreach.
4. Museum Visitor and Community Programming – Digital and In-Person Outreach
