The table illustrates the outcome of a survey conducted with London Natural History Museum visitors to learn the reasons for their visit.
The graphic/table compares four reasons for touring the museum in 2000, 2010, and 2020, with the desire ‘to see specific displays’ proving to be the most popular reason for visiting in all three years. ‘Tourism’ saw the most significant growth, followed by ‘School Trips, ‘ while ‘Work’ remained relatively unchanged throughout.
‘Wanting to witness specific displays’ presented a slight decrease between 2000 and 2010, going from 52 to 48 as the rest rose, but it grew again in the third interview, ending with 54 people. From 2010 to 2020, ‘Work’ and ‘School trip’ dropped by 1 and 2, respectively.
Out of the four reasons, ‘Work’ was the least popular, with minor fluctuations between 10 and 11 across the three interviews, while ‘Tourism’ showed the most dramatic climb, from 7 in 2000 to 15 in 2010, and ending with 22 in 2020.
