Impact Evaluation

Home > Library and Museum Studies > Museum exhibitions and programming > Exhibit Evaluation > Impact Evaluation

Impact evaluation is focused specifically on measuring the impact of a museum exhibit on its audiences, in terms of knowledge gained, changes in behavior, or attitudinal shifts. This type of evaluation can be challenging to conduct, and it usually is done in the long term, after an exhibit has closed, using various methods like surveys, follow-up interviews, and long-term tracking.
