Understanding Audiences: The Popularity of Museum Galleries

NatSCA are pleased to present the findings of an Arts Council England funded study into the audiences of mixed discipline museums.

We hope that this information will allow us to better understand how natural science galleries are perceived by the public and to allow other Subject Specialist Networks and museums to gain an insight to their audiences.
