Two new projects at the University of Chicago explore innovative ways to measure the basic but elusive experiences at the heart of a cultural institution’s success. Professor Coursey examines the ways people make decisions about investing time in cultural activities, and Professor O’Muircheartaigh is developing a sophisticated new survey instrument to accurately assess the aesthetic experiences of museum visitors.
