What kind of museum visitor are you? John Falk, Ph.D., museum researcher and writer, has come up with four categories.

Recharger: The recharger visits the museum to relax and get away from their hectic lifestyle.

Facilitator: The facilitator is focused mostly on how his guests are enjoying the museum visit and how well they are retaining information.

Experience-seeker: Experience-seekers are usually tourists or one-time visitors. They take a photo and move on.

Professional/Hobbyist: They may head directly to what they’ve already seen or want to gather new knowledge.

Explorer: The explorer would probably describe themselves as curious, inquisitive, or as a lifelong learner.

Which one fits you best? Or maybe you fit into more than one category?
