Here are a few links that I came across that seemed interesting.<\/p>\n
The Art of Slowing Down in a Museum<\/em><\/p>\n This article offers some good suggestions for make the most of a museum visit experience. The idea of museums offering “slow art tours” or days seems like it has some potential from a marketing and PR perspective. Activities that make your museum different, or that are directed toward improving the visitor’s experience, tie in with the ideas about marketing and development in chapters 11 and 12.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/10\/12\/travel\/the-art-of-slowing-down-in-a-museum.html?emc=eta1&_r=0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Art of Wooing Commitment-Phobes – As Subscriptions Fall, Orchestras Aim Higher<\/em><\/p>\n This article explores the pros and cons of subscription series that can easily be expanded beyond symphony orchestras.
