Effective Storytelling Deepens Engagement
“… storytelling is a powerful way to connect with visitors. When we tell the story of a work of art, it creates personal, emotional and memorable pathways to meaning.”
- Kris Wetterlund, from “If You Can't See It Don't Say It: A New Approach to Interpretive Writing”

CONTENT: Overall Interpretive Framework
The majority of our audiences do not come to us with deep prior knowledge. In order to engage as many of them as we can, it is our responsibility to deliver content that meets multiple and varied needs.

This is not, and never will be, “dumbing things down”. Instead, this is opening as many doors as possible, and meeting our audiences where they are, with respect and enthusiasm.

Results: Formal Evaluation
• People use technology in the galleries. • They spend time with the technology, and will read
aloud and discuss as they do so. • Technology was used effectively and with positive
response by individuals and groups.
• Use of technology does not detract from focus on the art. • After departing the gallery, descriptions of their visit were almost
exclusively about the art, and notably not about the technology.
• People who used the technology spent more time in the exhibit than those who did not use the technology
• even after subtracting the time spent using the technology
