Master thesis | Archaeology (MA/MSc)

This thesis is based on a survey conducted in the visitors of the Delphi museum, in Greece, in January 2013.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the policies pursued by the Delphi museum and in what extent it takes into consideration visitors' opinion to...Show moreThis thesis is based on a survey conducted in the visitors of the Delphi museum, in Greece, in January 2013.
