Does anyone know of any research on the users, or usage, of museum
websites? E.g. who users are, what they are looking for, how they use the
sites, etc.
I am Project Director of the National Inventory of European Paintings
project set up by the National Gallery, London, and a group of leading
regional museums. The project intends to set up an on-line searchable
illustrated database of paintings in public collections in England and
Wales, initially concentrating on non-British artists, and works before
1900. For further information on the project please email me at

I am keen that the proposed website is designed to meet the expectations of
potential users, as far as those can be acertained, so am very keen to find
out if any research has been done, in the U.K. or abroad. Can any one help?
