The United States has many incredible museums that are not only enjoyed by Americans, but also attract visitors from all over the world. However, international visitors may not be able to understand the exhibitions American museums designed due to culture and language barriers. This is especially true for American history museums, which require English fluency and specific knowledge of American history- things that international visitors may not be confident about-to appreciate their exhibits. As a Chinese student who studies and lives in Philadelphia, I researched on what resources American museums offer to support the Chinese audiences' visit experience. I interviewed the National Constitution Center, the Museum of the American Revolution, and The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology to investigate their resources, and three tourist agencies and several Chinese museum visitors for their visit feedback. I analyzed the engagement between the museums and the Chinese tourist group. I found not all of the three museums have strong connections/ considerations for Chinese visitors, and Chinese visitors, if very new to the country, normally experience challenges when appreciating the exhibitions. My thesis suggests that 1) museum workers should do enough research to know about international visitors; 2) museum exhibitions reflect the learning capability of the international audiences; 3) museums consider hiring professionals from other cultures if feel challenging to involve international visitors in their spaces.
