Abstract (FR)
L'article analyse le rôle que joue la présence ou l'absence de compagnons dans l'expérience personnelle que constitue la visite d'un musée d'art. Peu de recherches ont porté sur l'accompagnement du visiteur, même si la double nature de la visite d'un musée - à la fois activité sociale de loisir et expérience introspective - donne à penser que l'accompagnement est un facteur significatif. L'auteur présente les résultats d'une étude qualitative menée auprès de visiteurs de musées d'art (analyse du contenu de 24 entrevues semi-dirigées) et discute de ses incidences sur la recherche future et la gestion muséale.
Abstract (EN)
This paper analyzes the role played by the presence or the absence of companions in the individual experience of visiting an art museum. Until now, little research has focused on the visitor’s accompaniment, even though the dual nature of visiting a museum, both a social leisure activity and an introspective experience, points to its potential importance. I present the principal results of a qualitative study of art museum visitors (a content analysis of twenty-four semi-directed interviews), from which I then draw implications of relevance to further research and to museum management.
