| Summary: | Museum exhibition environment provides experiential learning through its messages to
influence knowledge, attitudes and learning behaviours of visitors. Connections in visitors' cognitive,
affective, emotional and physiological responses play a beneficial role in museum visits. The research
focuses on how science centre as part of a museum discusses various methodological approaches to
encourage visitor into having a response. The review highlights multiple learning theories underpinning
how visitors learn and how these theories impact a museum’s exhibition design efforts. Using the
experience of selected Science Centres as primary case-studies, this paper examines different
perspectives and methodological approaches. Nurturing visitor interest through visitor personal
connection represents an essential recurring concept which strikes at the core of the exhibition design
process. Visitors act as celebrants of science information in an edutainment context, motivated by a quest
for social and enlightening experiences. |
