Hello all.

We are researching adult Art Museum-related behaviors, and would welcome input from those of you who are associated with art museums, historic homes, & artist studios.

1)  If you keep track of local versus out-of-town visitors, what is the ratio of each?  If known, what percent are visiting from outside the US?

2)  What percent of visitors purchase something in your cafe/restaurant?

3)  What percent of your visitors purchase something in your museum store? 

4)  What percent of museum store purchases is represented by books?

5)  What percent of special exhibition visitors purchase the exhibition catalog?

If you prefer to respond privately, I welcome your emails.

We're studying these questions to support editorial planning. I will be happy to share our learning with you when the study wraps up.

I appreciate your help!  Best, Jane
