Museum fatigue is a state of physical or mental fatigue caused by the experience of exhibits in museums and similar cultural institutions. The collection of phenomena that characterize museum fatigue was first described in 1916, and has since received widespread attention in popular and scientific contexts.

| - Le mal du musée est le malaise que l'on peut ressentir en visitant un musée. Identifié de longue date, il a notamment été décrit par Maurice Blanchot, qui indique qu'il suffit « d'entrer dans n'importe quel lieu où des chefs-d'œuvre sont mis ensemble en grand nombre pour éprouver cette sorte de mal du musée, analogue au mal de la montagne, fait de vertige et d'étouffement, auquel succombe rapidement tout bonheur de voir et tout désir de se laisser toucher. » Dans cette critique et analyse, Blanchot s'inspire notamment de Georges Duthuit et de son ouvrage Le Musée inimaginable (1956), en opposition au Musée imaginaire de Malraux.

| - Museum fatigue is a state of physical or mental fatigue caused by the experience of exhibits in museums and similar cultural institutions. The collection of phenomena that characterize museum fatigue was first described in 1916, and has since received widespread attention in popular and scientific contexts. The first person to describe museum fatigue was Benjamin Ives Gilman in the January 1916 edition of The Scientific Monthly. Gilman mainly focused on the efforts of museum fatigue on how the viewing displays are placed. Gilman went on to say that the way the displays were presented caused museum fatigue. In other later studies, Edward Robinson in 1928 talked more about museum fatigue, specifically four museums that showed a lot of characteristics of museum fatigue because of how the displays were placed. Arthur Melton provided more proof for Robinson by observing visitors’ interest in the displays decreased as the number of displays increased. In a more recent study of the phenomenon, Falk, Koran, Direking, and Dreblow studied museum fatigue at the Florida Museum of Natural History in 1985. While observing visitors they noticed a pattern of high interest in anything in the museum for about 30 minutes and then a decrease in interest. In 1997–1998, Beverly Serrell in her research determined that in less than 20 minutes people became apathetic towards the museum. Museum fatigue has also been applied in zoos to see if they had the same effect. In one study in 1986, Bitgood, Patterson, and Benefeld observed the reptile house of the Birmingham Zoo. While observing they noticed that the pattern was different from museum fatigue. (en)
