“L’écomusée n’est pas musée”. Gli ecomusei come laboratori produttori di cultura, territorio e relazione

Ecomuseums, as dynamic cultural and social engines, offer a unique model for preserving and valuing local heritage while fostering community engagement. Unlike traditional museums, ecomuseums disperse their functions across the territory, rooted in specific socio-geographical milieus and designed with local participation. This study highlights their potential to resist territorial destruction, as demonstrated by the proposed Landscape Ecomuseum in Battir, Palestine—a site of historical and anthropological significance threatened by conflict. By promoting shared universal values, ecomuseums serve as laboratories for producing culture, territory, and social relations, embodying a democratized approach to heritage that challenges hegemonic narratives.
