Martin Brandt Djupdræt’s reflections on the META-MUSEUM:
“There are several promising perspectives in META-MUSEUM project. It is important to examine the benefits that cultural heritage can bring to individuals, as this can enable us to understand the value of culture and its specific use in society. META-MUSEUM is an ambitious project that brings together many different disciplines and is keen to explore measurement methods. This makes the project more complex, but I see it as a strength and a means of finding good and valid measurement methods. I look forward to following the project and would like to contribute with results and experiences from my own PhD and research on the value and use of museum visits.”
