I completed a visit to the museum. Where do I find the survey?
You will only complete the social impact survey one time, and it will be emailed to you about two weeks after your third and final visit as part of this project or when we close the study on May 31, 2026, whichever comes first.
When will I receive the social impact survey?
We ask that you visit the museum three times. Shortly after your third visit (estimated two weeks), you will receive an email from our team with a link to the survey.
I can no longer visit the museum three times. Can I still participate in the study?
We understand life events happen. If you were able to visit the museum at least one time, our team will send you a link to the social impact survey.
