Engagement to me is everything between the museum and its audience. Either a special exhibition, or a night at the museum event, or maybe just a poster outside the building. It is how the museum chooses to represent itself to the public.

Engagement to me in regards to museums is the interactions the public has with the museum. It is key that museum professionals work to engage the public in meaningful and viable ways.

Museum engagement is a connection that happens between a museum visitor and an exhibit/museum as a whole. This connection allows the visitor to take something away from their experience at the museum.

To me, museum engagement represents the engagement between the museum and the visitor. Museum professionals include interactive elements so museum visitors will be mentally and also physically engaged when visiting.

Engagement in the museum field is finding the best ways for the museum to interact with the visitor positively. This could be through exhibits, programs, special events, activities, or the staff interacting with the guests one on one.

To engage someone is to encourage someone to involve in a target activity. There are two parts of engagement: before and during the activity. We can engage before the activity by advertisement. During the activity, we also can engage by making the activity appealing and inclusive to the target audience.

I see Museum Engagement as getting the visitors who attend museums to not only go to the museum but to actually interact in a meaningful way with the exhibits and other aspects the museum presents, so that the visitors come away being impacted by the museum and the things they've seen, as opposed to just looking at them.

Engagement, to me, is about how a person is able to gain more information about a museum's collection and expand their interests.  It's a way for the visitor to feel like they are either part of the museum or learn something new about the various collections by interacting with the different exhibits.

To me, engagement represents the space between an exhibit, and a guest. Engagement in a museum represents how we, as museum professionals, get people actively involved in the learning process.

Museum Engagement to me is the Museum’s involvement with the general public, whether the local community in which it resides or the people who come and visit the museum. The point being that engagement in a Museum is how involved the Museum is with the local community, and how well it interacts with it’s visitors.

Engagement is the collaboration between a museum and its audience to help museum visitors participate and learn facts, history, science, values, and more from within a museum exhibit.

Engagement is an interaction between a museum and its patrons which elicits understanding, enjoyment, or contemplation. Engagement is having an exhibit in which the viewer is invited to actively participate, including anything from pushing a button or pulling a lever to painting or writing which then becomes part of the exhibit.
