The first person to describe Muesum fatigue was Benjamin Ives Gilman in 1916. Benjamin mainly focused on the efforts of Muesum fatigue when veiwing the displays placed. Benjamin went on to say that the way the displays were presented caused muesum fatigue. In other later studies, Edward Robinson in 1928 talked more about muesum fatigue, specifically 4 muesums that showed a lot fo charactersistics of muesum fatigue. Arthur Melton provided more prrof for Robinson by observing vistiors decrease interest in the displays. In a more recent study of muesum fatigue, Falk, Koran, Direking and Dreblow pursued muesum fatigue in Florida States Muesum of Natural History in 1985. While observing vistiors they noticed a pattern of a high interest in anything in the muesum for about 30 minutes, after the 30 minutes they noticed a decrease in interest. In 1997-1998, Beverly Serrell in her research determined that in less then 20 minutes people got apatheitc towards the muesum. Muesum fatigue has also been used in zoos, in one study in 1986, Bitgood, Patterson and Benefeld observed Birmingham Zoo, specifcally they focused on the reptile house. While observing they noticed that the pattern was different from muesum fatigue.
