Opening a staging area and gift shop, and having the technology to finally accept credit cards has made a big difference in visits to the Rosenbaum/Frank Lloyd Wright museum.
The number of visitors in the first quarter of the fiscal year, compared to the same period a year ago, is up 57 percent, while total revenue is up 93 percent, according to the city Arts and Museums Department.
"The staging area is a different concept from the way we had taken in guests," Barbara Broach, director of Arts and Museums, said. "We give them an orientation with exhibits on the walls, then we send them over in groups of 12."
