Small Museums Alliance Representing Territories
The project promotes the culture of accessibility among tourism- and cultural-operators and the active participation of citizens in the appreciation of the natural and cultural heritage as a common good. In 3 pilot sites (Valdagno, Resia, Saalfelden, each characterized by the presence of small museums and significant landscapes and cultural aspects) it will activate participatory planning tours with the local communities for the collection and processing of contents and values, with particular attention to those defining the uniqueness of the place. These contents will then be returned within innovative devices (technological and narrative) that will enrich the offer of the existing museum sites (App for interactive visits, augmented reality, multimedia installations, thematic routes) and enhance the natural context (multimedia itineraries of storytelling of places) for an experiential, immersive and emotional fruition. Accessibility will be the focus, with the development of multimodal devices that will allow an immersive use for all, thanks to the possibility to choose and combine different ways of visiting, designed to meet the needs of different skills, ages, origins, as well as motory, sensory and cognitive difficulties. Finally, the pilot sites will be connected in a virtual museum circuit that will allow a remote visit and the access to special contents, it will also be extensible to other structures after the end of the project.
