This lecture presents results from an in-depth visitor analysis conducted in the St. Gallen Museum of Fine Arts. Tröndle investigates the influence of curatorial settings upon the visitors’ spatial movement and with the help of the latest tracking technology, recorded exact visitor positions and movement paths inside the exhibition. The analysis of the movement data uncovered visitor streams alongside "space-cells", which were found to influence the rhythmicity of the museum visit. These results are important for curators, whose settings can influence visitor attention, their itinerary and, over all, the aesthetical effects of artworks.
