Let’s Get Physical (Crafting Valuable Experiences, Part 2)
As educators, we often focus on visitors’ intellectual experiences, but the physical context of a person’s experience in our museums is the starting point of their learning journey. In this episode, we consider the number thing we must do in order to convince a visitor to take an intellectual risk with us and we talk through some simple ways to improve the physical context of our programs and tours.
Key Takeaways:
When visiting a museum, people expect to experience things in the physical context, a personal context, in a social context, as well as an intellectual context.
Visitors cannot take an intellectual risk if they feel physically unsafe or uncomfortable.
Improving physical wellbeing makes your entire site more inclusive.
