These characteristics may include: seating, wayfinding, price/worth (value for $), sensory experience, all around accessibility, educational value, museum fatigue (mental, physical), engagement (categories to be defined), intrigue, subject legitimacy, community presence/relevancy. Findings to be published as a website.
