<div dir="ltr">Hi Andrea - what a great topic to focus on. While I’m not a museum educator or positioned to contribute to your study, I thought I’d mention one of the most memorable quiet spaces I’ve encountered in a museum. It’s the final space called the
Hall of Remembrance in the self-guided walk through the US Holocaust Memorial Museum <a href="https://www.ushmm.org/information/about-the-museum/architecture-and-art/hall-of-remembrance">https://www.ushmm.org/information/about-the-museum/architecture-and-art/hall-of-remembrance </a>.
A large quiet area with seating around the edges - and beautiful lighting. Where black and white predominate in the exhibits, the Hall is infused with golden lighting through windows and sky-lights. Or at least that’s how I remember it. I recall it as a
deliberate and welcome space for contemplation and for decompression after a difficult experience. Hope this is helpful. All the best on your study! Joy</div>

I am currently conducting my graduate research in fulfillment of the UBC Master of Museum Education program on museum educators’ and visitors’ perceptions of designated museum quiet spaces in Canada. The goal of this research to understand through interviews
more about peoples’ opinions of quiet spaces with the intention that findings could inform the creation and facilitation of quiet spaces.</p>
