  • 1.  Museum Liminal Spaces

    Posted 2 days ago

    Hi all,

    What do you consider "liminal spaces" in your museum? I think of them as the connective tissue upon entry, those often-empty spaces that lead to galleries, giftshops, cafes, restrooms, etc. Or they may be the quiet corridors between galleries or even buildings. But they are important parts of the visitor experience. 

    DLR Group and Jill Snyder from Snyder Consultancy, have embarked on a peer-reviewed research study of liminal spaces. This Making the Museum podcast describes the early phases, including the whys and hows of the research and a sneak peek into some initial feedback. The team will return to the podcast in the fall to share the analyzed data.

    Museum lobbies have a huge influence on visitor experience. But what makes a good lobby? What is a "liminal space" in a museum? How does research actually work?

    Hi Carol

    For me the most important liminal space for a museum today is AI. Happy to continue the conversation.
