Since 2019, Patternmakers has been the research partner for the NGV, one of the most visited museums in Australia. Year-round, we conduct audience research for the National Gallery of Victoria in order to provide insights into the motivations and behaviours of its visitors.
This project involves on-site intercepts of visitors exiting one of two NGV sites, along with focus group research into strategic opportunities. We provide monthly email updates, quarterly snapshot reporting (including the production of data tables), and action research workshops to apply insights in the organisation’s work throughout the year. Our partner on this project is Tony Medic and the Milicante Consulting team.
