The project confronts the challenge of transferring complex art historical research to audiences with different cultural and cognitive skills, fostering accessibility and social, cognitive, and physical inclusivity. This project looks both at the potential of digital projects, such as display strategies from established collections to flexible and experimental displays, such as City Museums, which can help citizens, especially vulnerable groups, to better understand the place in which they live, to penetrate the complexity of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, to discover the connecting potential of different cultures, as well as to bring value to the history of diverse communities. By exploring new interactions between art and neuroscience, it also looks into the potential of heritage in supporting wayfinding and spatial orientation for Alzheimer patients. It explores the double potential of built and natural monuments as agents of memory, that is, how monuments of the place in which you live and on which your identity is grounded can become parts of a healing path.
