Application of Heritage Value in Museum Engagement

Summary

Museums play a pivotal role in engaging in diversified communities and public at large, as cultural heritage value is applied to an understanding of the past that is relevant to everyday life today. Museums hold significant collections of natural and cultural worlds over the age that witnessed climatic changes, natural disasters, and humanly-powered manipulations. The survival objects displayed in the galleries and exhibition today are keys to engaging the public into the dialogues of cultural heritages preservations. Museum provide platforms for the public in today’s growing multi-cultural municipals to make meaningful links to the past of their own through today’s available technologies and social media, that would raise their awareness to heritage values and give their voice to policy-making of cultural heritage for their communities.
