The Sindecuse Museum is thankful for your feedback! We are always eager to learn more about our audience and find out new ways to serve our visitors. We conducted a survey that ran from June 15, 2011 to March 30, 2012. Here are some of the things we learned:

• Most respondents indicated that they were visiting us for the first time! (66.44%)
• Most visitors to the Sindecuse Museum visit with at least one other person (76.43%)! So keep the Sindecuse Museum in mind for your next date or family outing.
• 90% of respondents to the question "Would you come to the museum again?" responded "Yes." Most people (59%) said they would return to the museum to show a friend, child or other relative.

We also received a number of fascinating comments:

• “Very interesting - I have family members who currently practice/did practice in the past and would love to show them the exhibit!” 

• “This is a really cool exhibit, we liked the history of the x-ray development, establishment of anesthesia, life story of Sindecuse and the evolution of today's dental office.”

• "Great summaries and useful/interesting facts on dentistry. Also the added information of the number of U-M graduates that contributed to the progression of dentistry from the beginning. Great exhibit!"
