Project: Audience Research and Evaluation
Client name: Museum of the Home
The Museum of the Home, formerly the Geffrye Museum, is a free museum in the 18th-century Grade I-listed former almshouses on Kingsland Road in Hoxton, London. The museum's change of name was announced in 2019.The museum explores home and home life from 1600 to the present day with galleries which ask questions about 'home', present diverse lived experiences, and examine the psychological and emotional relationships people have with the idea of "home" alongside a series of period room displays.
The Museum is in the early stages of research and development for the renovation of the Rooms Through Time: 1630 – 1830. In this project, as a team of students, you will engage in visitor evaluation and engagement to help them better understand what visitors would want from the new gallery.
