DOES PHYSICAL IMMERSION HELP ADULT VISITORS PROCESSING WORKS OF ART EXHIBITED IN A MUSEUM?

Abstract

"Given the popularity of spectacular events that produce physical immersion, museums are tempted to exhibit their collections in rooms where visitors are plunged in such immersion. A comparison of three rooms displaying works of art in the traditional manner, but one of which having an installation that induces physical immersion, showed that such immersion does not lead to an increase in the rate of treatment of the works, nor does it increase the fascination for them, i.e. psychological immersion."
