📋 Study Plan: Perspectives on Colonial Artifacts in Museums

This study will examine perspectives on colonial artifacts in Western museums, comparing viewpoints across cultural backgrounds and analyzing how historical education influences opinions.

🔄 Key Study Process:

1. Persona Development: We'll create AI personas representing diverse stakeholders including museum professionals, cultural heritage experts, visitors from Western countries, and people from artifact origin countries

3. Comparative Analysis: We'll analyze how viewpoints differ across cultural backgrounds and educational experiences
4. Insight Development: We'll identify patterns in reasoning and develop a stakeholder segmentation model based on attitudes rather than demographics

📊 Final Deliverables:

• Stakeholder segmentation model showing attitudinal segments regarding artifact restitution
• Comparative analysis of perspectives across Western and origin country stakeholders
• Analysis of how historical education influences views on artifact ownership
• Strategic recommendations for museums addressing competing stakeholder concerns

⏱️ Estimated Duration: Approximately 30 minutes
