A History of Audience Thinking at the Science Museum, 1950-2016

本文旨在确立科学博物馆观众思维的本质。这个概念是何时以及如何出现的，并在执行博物馆作为公共机构的使命（参与英国公共科学文化的生产）中发挥了重要作用。简而言之，我们应该勾勒出观众观念的变化与科学博物馆存在理由观念的变化之间的对应关系。

This dissertation is designed to establish the nature of audience thinking at the Science Museum. When and how did this concept emerge to play its now significant role in executing the Museum's mission as a public institution (in participating in the production of public cultures of science in Britain). In brief one should outline the correspondence between changing conceptions of audiences and changing conceptions of the Science Museum's raison d'etre.
