Over the past few months we have been digging deeper into Museum Advocates, who they are, how we can identify them, and how we can increase their numbers.
In our recently completed study of science museum visitors, conducted in partnership with ASTC, we explored the idea of Museum Advocates in more detail, and what they mean to not only science museums, but museums of all types. What role do science museums play in growing more Museum Advocates? And what role do other types of museums, including history museums and art museums, play as well?
In our next free Museum Conversation we will be sharing the results of our study and explore these very issues.

Was any correlation done between respondents and museum services available in a community? It seems highly likely that the availability of the range of museum options would affect the response.
