Based on the visitor study of Diverse Lives at Shanghai Natural History Museum, the paper tries to analyze the frequency and types of visitors’ conversation through tracking, observation and documentation of conversation and interactive behavior of 63 samples. The survey finds that group visitors show a tendency towards visiting the museum on their own and that perceiving dialogue is the most common type of conversation occurred during the visit. By adopting the detailed analysis of the relationship between visitors’ conservations and exhibit design, the survey finds the factors which can influence visitors’ conservation. The exhibits which are with obvious features and within visitors’ sight can evoke high frequency of conservations. The labels and texts in exhibit promote visitors’ conservation. The exhibits that contribute to visitors’ relationship building and reasoning can evoke in-depth learning conservations. It is clear that great efforts should be made to facilitate visitors’ conservations; investigate the needs of targeted groups in advance; use labels, texts and videos to enrich exhibit content; choose exhibits with obvious features; and design exhibits under the guidance of inquiry learning.
