Abstract
This book is the third volume in the Estudios sobre Públicos y Museos (Studies in Visitors and Museums) series, coordinated by Leticia Pérez Castellanos, academic of the Postgraduate program in Museology at the Escuela Nacional de Conservación, Restauración y Museografía of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (ENCRyM-INAH). This is an important contribution towards the existing body of work that demonstrates the significance and usefulness of visitor studies. This
work, in addition to providing a variety of case studies from museum institutions that have, for varying reasons, taken on the task of analyzing their audiences, focuses on key debates, dilemmas, and practices that characterize this type of research today.
