My first Interview with a Father and his two Children during the Visit in the Museum.
In the beginning i explained what i am doing and what the interview is about:
Hi, my name is Alex, and I am a student from KTH studying computer science. I am working on a project for my Human Computer Interaction course. We are interviewing parents and children visiting museums.
Is it ok if we take a few minutes of your time to ask you and your children a few questions?
Do you mind if I record this conversation so we can transcribe it later? The interview is totally anonymous.
Then i started the recording and this is the transcript of the interview:

F: five times a year
A: Do you normally enjoy going to museums?
F: yes.
A: Whats been the best museum you’ve been to and why?
F: (asking the kids) this museum was the best.
A: Do you like to interact with other people while you’re at the museum? So do the kids like to stay alone or do they interact with other people?
F: More with other things not people.
A: do you think that Museums should be fun or more for education?
F: Both.
A: Why did you visit this museum today?
F: She is free from school today, because the teachers have a meeting.
A: What are you hoping ti get out of the experience?
F: That the children get interested in learning things.
A: Is there anything specific that they or you wanted them to learn today?
F: This exhibit (about the human body), they have been here before and they like it because there are a lot of things to do and test.
A: Alright that would be all we have. Than you.
The second part of the Interview took place when the families were leaving or have seen most of the museum.
It has been a Father with a 6 and a 1 year old son.
The Introduction was the same as above.
A: Did you enjoy your visit here in total?
F: yea, its very good.
A: and what was the best part of the museum?
F: we have not seen everything but i guess the part we just left, with the dinosaurs is the best.
A: was there a part that was especially boring or not fun for the kids?
F: No i dont think so. I think everything is more or less interesting.
A: Do you think your children learned something today and what?
F: Yes definitely. They see where everything comes from, how everything starts. To see how animals looked in reality, how it was a long time ago.
A: could you ask him what is still in his mind after the visit?
F: yea, (asking the son) the polar bears.
A: And do you have a idea how to improve the experience here? just something that comes to your mind.
F: Not really, cant really say. Maybe more elevators.
A: ok. and did you miss any was of interaction, maybe technology based?
F: Not really, i think its really good.
A: ok thank you very much, bye.
