What are Eco-museums

“Eco-museums are participatory processes of recognition, care and management of local cultural heritage with the goal of promoting a sustainable social, environmental and economic development. Eco-museums are design identities that aim to relate uses, techniques, crops, production, resources of a homogeneous territorial area with the cultural asset they hold. Eco-museums are creative and inclusive pathways for the cultural growth of local communities, based on the active participation of citizens and the collaboration between associations. The Eco-museum lives regardless of the collections, it exists because it works starting from the focus on special heritage and people, with a focus on stimulating their sensitivity and motivating their intentions.“
