“…Previous researchers have applied choice experiments to estimate the value of museums. The application of choice experiments is proposed as a methodology for evaluating attributes and obtaining information on visitor preferences [9]. The results presented in this paper expand on the information regarding the attributes of museums and introduce the application of WTP.…”

“…Finally, they consider that building a conducive atmosphere and environment for the establishment is essential, because of its history, image, and experience [27]. This factor has led to the need to carry out studies focused on analyzing the perception of the attributes of museums as well as the subjective or emotional economic value perceived by visitors [9].…”

“…The use of mixed methods such as willingness to pay and choice experiments have previously been proposed as a suitable method for analyzing the attributes of museums, due to the possibility it offers of assessing the socio-cultural and economic aspects perceived by visitors [8]. The choice experiment method is used to estimate the monetary value of use and non-use derived from the museum [9]. This method allows obtaining information related to different types of sociodemographic profiles [51], so it is possible to apply it to identify differences between a tourist's and a resident's evaluation of attributes.…”

Attribute evaluation provides an understanding of the perceived quality and subjective value of the museum visitor experience. The principal contribution of this paper is to analyze the attributes perceived by tourists and the local community (Madrid residents) of the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum (Madrid, Spain), utilizing the results from choice experiment and willingness-to-pay questionnaires. To analyze in depth the assessment regarding the museum attributes and the visitor perceptions of them, the relevance-determination model was applied. Data collection was achieved with a questionnaire using a convenience sample of international tourists and the local community, providing a total of 775 valid surveys. The results of the application of the relevance-determination analysis (RDA) show that there are two types of attributes: higher-impact core and lower-importance attributes. The attributes with the highest subjective value perceived by interviewed tourists and interviewed residents are the location, the building, and the permanent collection. These results show that there are substantial differences between the perception and appreciation of these attributes by interviewed residents and interviewed tourists. The results provide valuable information that can be applied in practice to devise strategies for economic and socio-cultural sustainability aimed at improving decision-making in museum management.

“…Proposing a model to objectively evaluate relevance within the context of art exhibitions also finds support in a need recently highlighted by Orea‐Giner, De‐Pablos‐Heredero, and Vacas Guerrero (2019) as they refer to the integration of both qualitative and quantitative analyses into a single method to assess different metrics like sustainability, economic value, and socio‐cultural impacts of art institutions. Their approach was theoretical and showed the fundamentals for further research such the one we propose here.…”

The authors present a conceptual and mathematical model for an art institution relevance index that quantifies the institution's ability to manage and leverage its loan relationships with other art institutions, art collectors, and curators. The propose that their model innovates on prior methods descriptions of institution relevance based on the depth or size of an institution's collections, by introducing a more complex combination of the institution's ability to manage the type, frequency and range of lending and borrowing practices. Their mixed methods approach is based on combining traditional methods of art history that have relied on subjective accounts of an institution's collection value with a more formalized methodological approach to quantifying what was once a discourse of practice. The show that a limitation in traditional approaches to evaluating institutional impact relied on subjective interpretation and is not scalable and therefore cannot account for the importance of the global art exhibition ecosystems.

“…This article aims to determine a method for identifying museum attributes and how their value is perceived by tourists using textual analysis (Zanibellato et al, 2018;Kim & Lee, 2019;Orea-Giner et al, 2019). This method has been proven using the case study of the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid, Spain, and an exploratory analysis of the results has been offered.…”

Objective: The identification of museum attributes is essential when analysing the different factors that attract visitors and studying it in order to improve efficiency in museums, as this could affect the use of funds for developing a marketing campaign to attract visitors. This paper offers a literature review that considers museum visits and museum attributes before proposing a methodology. Methodology: The use of big data applied to tourism research is vital, as it allows for the consideration of the opinions of museum visitors. The case study in this paper is the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid, Spain. The method for identifying the attributes consists of a textual analysis of TripAdvisor reviews written in English (2500) and Spanish (2500). The information is captured using WebHarvy and is analysed using Nvivo12. Results: After analysing the thousand words that were used most frequently, the main attributes were detected, as well as whether the perception of these attributes was positive or negative. The museum’s location and the building itself were the most highly valued attributes. Other attributes that were valued positively were the peripheral services of the museum, such as its food and beverage services. Limitations: The main limitation is that TripAdvisor is not an entirely reliable source of information, so it will be necessary to obtain more reviews to analyse.
