A quick search of the Museum Education Monitor (MEM) Archives using
"gender" pulled up these two:

museum communication (Canada)

Engagement and reflections at science centres - a study of upper
secondary students
Found in the June 2004 MEM Issue under Ongoing Research
Research questions: What types of exhibits engage upper secondary
students at science centres? How deep are their engagement and how does
it relate to gender and pre-interests in science? How does a visit
influence their self-stated pre-interests in science? What are their
reflections of their experiences?
