Bette kicks off the discussion and Tori and Amanda follow with details. There is great interest in some of the past projects the museum has housed and Mark is able to provide some insights regarding the production or build out of the exhibits. They take a break before starting the tour of the exhibits.

Bette: Mark, can you join us on the tour this morning? It seems Theo will have a lot of questions as we pass through the exhibits.

Mark: Of course, this has been really interesting so far.

Chad: I think we are ready for that tour now.

Bette: Great, Mark is going to join us.

Theo: Oh perfect, he can give me lots of inside scoop on how these things were put in place.

The group takes their time with each section of the museum. The Disney group enjoys both the guided tour of the Whitney, as well as the knowledge that both Bette and Hector have about the exhibits and artists.

Chad: You both are well versed about these exhibits. How do you keep it all straight with so much going on here?

Hector: Well, we’ve learned it in stages. Some of the exhibits are considered permanent and we work hard to get to get or special exhibits we know a lot about them before the pieces ever arrive.

Teresa: What is the most consistent demographic of visitors you have at the museum?

Bette: That really varies. First of all New York is very diverse so there is a wide range of people right in the city who appreciate what we have to offer here. We also see our share of tourists as the Whitney is a great landmark in the city. On the weekends we get a higher percentage of families, especially on Sundays. We currently have a promotion with our schools that allow families to return on Sundays at a reduced rate.

Theo: Have you ever had any animatronics used in any of your exhibits?

Hector: Not while I’ve been at the museum. We’ve had some motorized figures, but probably nothing as advanced at what you’ve put in place at Disney.

Theo: We’ll take you behind the scenes and show you some of the technology we use. We have several generations at Disney World so it will be great to visit there together.
