@depaulartmuseum was The last study visit within my US research journey this year. Closing my @the_fulbright_program with this great institution was a cherry on the top. 🍒 Thank you @ionitbehar and her colleagues for a great discussion about how audience engagement is in a center of DePaul Museum’s activities and how they actually thing about different target groups from the planning of the exhibitions through programming to data and visitor’s feedback. The museum is awesome, it has participatory activities as a part of the exhibition and similar to @nublockmuseum the current exhibition deals with tough topic, so I appreciate a small flyer with listed activities how to absorb your thoughts and emotions after visit.

They do also have their amazing publications and have great student stuff who are ready to answer your questions any time during your visit. #universitymuseum #unig #audienceengagement...
