Participatory Museum

A Participatory Museum is an institution that actively involves visitors in shaping its exhibits, programs, and overall experience. Unlike traditional museums where items are displayed for viewing only, participatory museums encourage community members to contribute their stories, artifacts, and ideas, fostering a sense of ownership and engagement. This approach creates a more dynamic, inclusive environment that reflects diverse perspectives and allows visitors to collaborate, learn from each other, and feel connected to the museum’s growth and content. Ultimately, it transforms visitors from passive observers into active participants.
