This forward-thinking institution questioned the value and use of a standard audio tour and sought input on new forms of in-gallery interpretation. I designed a study which assessed use of existing audio and digital interpretation and tapped into visitor preferences for proposed future techniques and content.
"Lauren's method is highly collaborative, asking questions and spending time really understanding her clients needs. Lauren makes it easy to develop and implement evaluation. She listened carefully to our unique set of circumstances and was flexible throughout the process. The result was an evaluation that offered important information about how our visitors were using our current audio tour program and valuable insights into how we could best offer digital interpretation in the future. Illuminated Ideas provided a detailed report with thoughtful analysis and valuable graphics allowing us to share the results in a variety of formats. We would recommend Illuminated Ideas to museums and cultural institutions looking to complete visitor research and evaluation. Lauren is a consummate professional whose critical thinking and problem solving were vital to the project."
