Ecomuseums

Ecomuseums are community-focused museums that highlight a region’s natural, cultural, and historical heritage. Unlike traditional museums with centralized collections, ecomuseums emphasize local identity, involving residents in preserving and sharing their environment and traditions. They often encompass a specific area, including landscapes, buildings, crafts, and stories, promoting sustainable development and community participation. Ecomuseums aim to foster a deeper understanding and connection to place, encouraging local pride and education through experiential, often outdoor, and interactive ways of exploring the unique character of a community.
