The goal of this project was to evaluate visitor engagement, community involvement, and repeat visitation at the Freud Museum London (FML). To achieve this goal, the team assessed current practices at other small heritage house museums, surveyed and observed visitors at the FML, and discussed opinions of the FML with local community groups. From these methods, the team collected information on how best to encourage deeper engagement at the FML, and how the FML could improve their connections with the community. Based on our findings, we recommended the FML add interactive exhibits, gateway objects, and center objects to the museum rooms, collaborate more with local establishments, and introduce additional events and exhibitions.
