Since opening in 1988, the Powerhouse Museum has provided public programs aimed at culturally diverse audiences. Nonetheless, there were unanswered questions regarding the view of museums held by people from non-English speaking and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, their reasons for visits, their level of satisfaction with museum interpretation and services and the barriers that affect their participation. This study aimed to answer some of these questions. (from abstract)
