Hello everyone!  I am a Museology masters candidate at the University of Washington, and I'm assisting with a research project on Video Games in Museums led by Travis Windleharth, a PhD candidate at the UW's Information School.  We are conducting a baseline study to find out how many museums across the US have video games, and how they are being used.  For our purposes, "video games" include any kind of game-like interactive technology, including things like touchscreen quizzes or puzzles, flight simulators, and games included on museum apps or websites.  We want responses from institutions who use any kind of video game in any way, in any part of their museum, and also from museums who don't have any games at all.  I thought that the forum here would be a good starting point for seeking a broad response.

The survey linked here will take about ten minutes to complete.  You will have the option at the end to provide an email contact if you are willing to talk to us further.  This survey has been approved by the University of Washington and your response will be confidential.

Since my networking reach is limited as a student, I encourage anyone willing to pass this along to their colleagues or professional networks.  If you have any suggestions for other venues that would work well to distribute the survey I would be happy to hear them and to respond to any questions anyone might have.  Thank you!

Hey! FYI, the Frost Museum of art in Miami florida just had an exhibit on the art of video games. Please contact their curator Klaudio Rodriguez to see if there is overlap

Will this survey and dissertation result in any data on the efficacy of using video games in exhibits?
