At OMSI, research studies are conducted to support projects, including exhibits, programs, and museum initiatives. This research can support proposal development (e.g., interviews with former program participants), it can inform the internal operations of the museum (e.g., pedestrian traffic flow or elevator usage studies), or it can help museum staff expand their existing knowledge (e.g., new audience profiles or best practices for bilingual label development). This research is disseminated in a variety of ways including presentations at conferences, presentations to OMSI staff, or on the Web.
