- Title
LIFE CYCLES OF EXHIBITIONS IN A SCIENCE CENTRE: A NEW ZEALAND CASE STUDY.
- Authors
Hodder, A. Peter W.; Hodder, Catherine
- Abstract
Visitor trends during the first seven years of operation of a small interactive science centre in Hamilton, New Zealand, show a steady increase for the first three years, after which repeated interventions have been necessary to defer an overall decline in visitor numbers. Modelling short-term exhibitions shows no trends that can be attributed to a product life cycle; rather the visitor numbers seem to be driven by external factors, most notably the occurrence of school holidays when the science centre?s role as an entertainment appears to dominate.
