The MUV study was directed by the Jessica Luke, who was then at the Institute for Learning Innovation and facilitated by the on-site researchers at each museum.

The MUV component was accomplished with an on-site pencil-and-paper survey and a reflective tracking puzzle conducted by the on-site researchers. The participants were then asked to complete online questionnaires.
