Folklife museums

Folklife museums are special institutions dedicated to preserving and showcasing the everyday cultural traditions, crafts, music, costumes, and stories of different communities. They focus on the authentic, lived experiences of people, highlighting their customs, practices, and history. These museums often feature exhibits, demonstrations, and interactives that celebrate cultural diversity and help visitors understand how communities maintain their identity and heritage over time. By doing so, folklife museums promote appreciation, respect, and awareness of the rich tapestry of cultural expressions found within various societies.
