Heritage and Museum Studies

Heritage and Museum Studies is an academic field that explores the ways in which societies preserve, interpret, and display their cultural and historical treasures. It examines how museums and heritage sites collect, curate, and share artifacts and stories, thereby shaping public understanding of history and culture. This discipline also considers the social implications of heritage, such as identity, memory, and power dynamics. By studying the roles of heritage and museums, scholars seek to ensure that diverse perspectives are represented, promote public engagement, and foster a deeper appreciation of our shared histories.
