Asking Visitors Questions

Asking visitors questions and creating a space for them to answer is one of the most direct ways of engaging visitors in the exhibit topic. Here are some of the sample questions we’ve asking visitors in our installations:

• Do support the Cape Wind energy project?  Tell us about it…
• Could your family live together for a week on the U-505 submarine?  Why or why not?
• Tell us about a wildlife observation you’ve made in L.A.
• What stories would your shoes tell?
