Overview
- Offers a groundbreaking new method of evaluating the emotional impact of museum exhibits on their visitors
- Developed over several years of working closely with two international museums – The Museo Laboratorio della Mente in Rome and the Melbourne Museum in Australia
- Provides cutting-edge solutions to staff working in museums as to how they might evaluate aspects of the visitor experience, such as emotions and embodied experience, that are very difficult to assess using conventional approaches
- Affirms the potential for future collaborations between cultural geography and museum studies – examples of such collaborations in the literature are rare
