Making the Museum · What Museums Can Learn from Casinos, Theme Parks, Sports, and More, with Renée Hampton · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

Have the ability to design experiences that facilitate that engagement further with interactive and immersive exhibit design because there is a desire there.

I think also, speaking of maybe a more passive visitor that doesn't really know what to expect or wants to learn more, they come in without much of an expectation of the subject matter.

There's an opportunity to create fans from the experience.

And usually the way

That we do that through technology or through exhibit design, through all of the disciplines of our industry, is really by engaging the emotions like surprise and delight.

It's not just about the education.

And through that emotional engagement, we create these raving fans, which it goes back to that collective effervescent term.

And I think also museums r rely largely on word of mouth.

I think research.

Research when I was looking into it shows about 40% of museum and ticket sales come from word of mouth.

you know, how many of us have bought a ticket to an experience because our friends and family recommended it?

Or when we're visiting a new city, we look for recommendations of what's good out there.

So having something that stands out like an attraction or an experience really helps add to that interest to buy tickets and

Yeah, I I think it's a really interesting idea that we can work on more.

I don't think there's that many well, I think that the inherent storytelling that is in history and education that comes, you know, with a museum experience, that's what we sort of gives museums a head start because that there's more context and more meaning over entertainment.

Already built in.

So it doesn't require as much of the placemaking techniques that we use to ground attractions.

They're already there because of the way that the visitor wants to come and learn, wants to hear more about history, learn more about a city, learn more about a period of time or a culture.

And so I think a lot of times when you talk to visitors who go to museums

there's a reason why one museum stands out over another and why they talk about it and why they recommend it to people.
