The British Museum in London wants to strengthen the effectiveness of its galleries for family visitors. Evaluation of the Egyptian Sculpture and HSBC Money galleries proceeded through the use of oral surveys, visitor tracking, and participatory sessions with visiting families, followed by the creation of a data report and recommendations for potential gallery improvements. As the first to focus on family groups, this evaluation will enable the Museum to cater to a broader range of visitors.
