Collection Analysis Tool
Our Collection Analysis Tool offers an unprecedented level of engagement and insight into how each piece resonates with the public. By providing a platform for detailed feedback, including numerical ratings, comments, and classification preferences, museums can now understand the public’s perception of each item in their collection more deeply than ever before. The information provided by this tool not only aids in tailoring future exhibits to audience preferences but also enables institutions to test the appeal of exhibits with the public before making significant investments.
- Increased Attendance: Museums can strategically invite individuals who have expressed interest in their museums to opening night events. These personalized invitations based on visitor preferences create a sense of exclusivity and relevance, enticing attendees to engage with the museum’s exhibitions and programs.
- Enhancing Visitor Experience: By tailoring exhibits to match visitor preferences, museums can enhance the overall visitor experience, encouraging repeat visits and positive word-of-mouth recommendations. A positive visitor experience can contribute to the long-term sustainability of the institution, indirectly impacting financial factors such as insurance costs.
- Reducing Risk: By understanding preferences involves assessing the value and perception of each item in the collection before display. By conducting analysis through our tool, museums can identify highly valuable pieces that may not align with public preferences. In those cases, museums can perform a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether it’s prudent to exhibit these items.
- Preventing Controversy: Removing or adjusting the display of items that pose a higher risk of controversy or lack of interest can mitigate potential challenges and liabilities. This proactive approach not only safeguards the collection but also helps optimize exhibition planning and resource allocation, ultimately contributing to reduced insurance risks and costs.
