FATHOM: A Cairo Museum Morning Measured in Fathoms

Field notes

The project’s central unit is a “sounding,” not a rating: visitors finish a wing, record the forces that shaped the visit, and name what they left out. Its method distinguishes museum depth from transfer costs between Tahrir, Giza, and other campuses. The visible field card gives unusually concrete timing, including an 08:04 start, a 10:40 stopping point, and a 12:18 departure, while noting how a school group changed the route.
