Museums as Status Symbols III: A Speculative Examination of Motives Among Those Who Love Being in Museums, Those Who Go to, Have been and those who refuse to go

January 1, 1992 | Exhibitions

In this paper, Robert F. Kelly of the University of British Columbia presents a set of generalizations on visitor satisfaction based participation in two dozen empirical studies of museum visitors and non-visitors. Kelly analyzes visitors' motives for going or not going to museums and cites specific evidence from the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
