Museums and musealization

Museums and sites subject to musealisation are by definition places for the transmission and preservation of an area’s memory and identity. Heritage tourism, by its very nature, focuses on them, promoting their enhancement in the case of established institutions and fostering their emergence where tourism is a more recent phenomenon, stimulating multiple design considerations relating to the conservation of physical remains, the protection of intangible values and the definition of the local landscape, understood in its complex nature as a built, imagined and perceived entity.
