For our Spring Quick Take poll, we asked "What is the first thing you look at in a museum?"

 

77% of respondents said that they look at the object first. 8% said they looked at the label first.

 

Other responses included:

  • The Donor Recognition Wall
  • Display furniture and organization
  • The entryway, how the museum greets the visitor
  • Overall layout
  • Maps or wayfinding guides
  • The character of the overall setting
  • Where is the admission desk and how much does it cost, and where are the restrooms
  • Is there a level entrance or well marked accessible entrance
  • The museum shop
  • Signage
