Ready to start! Status quo measurement set to start on Apr 7th
POLITO, NCK, and OPIPIB are currently working on organizing the status quo measurements in META-MUSEUM Associated Museum Partners: Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy, MuséoParc of Alésia in France, and Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya in Barcelona.
In this initial experimental phase, researchers will collect data through neurophysiological acquisitions – thanks to the support of UNIROMA1 – and questionnaires. The interpretation of the results from the status quo measurements will help the Consortium to explore and identify narrative methods and solutions to foster greater interaction between visitors and Cultural Heritage, stimulating personal responses and co-creation processes.
Within each museum, curators and researchers have identified specific themes, objects and exhibition areas suitable for these experiments:
At the Museo Egizio, in the Deir-El-Medina Room, the Strike Papyrus has been selected as the main focus of the experience, documenting one of the first recorded workers’ strikes in history. This artifact bears witness to the courage of workers who protested to secure better working conditions in Ancient Egypt.
At Alésia, three key moments of the visitor experience at the MuséoParc have been identified. These moments are characterized by various interactive stimuli related to the history of the Siege of Alesia between the Gauls and the Romans.
The focal point of MAC Barcelona isthe Mosaic del Circ, a large polychrome mosaic and one of the most scenographic elements of the recent renovation at MAC Barcelona, also thanks to the video mapping that helps evocatively picturing its former glory.
Through the assessment and interpretation of the results of these preliminary measurements, data will serve as a basis for comparison to understand how museographic elements and narrative strategies can contribute to transmitting confidence to visitors – a core objective of this Horizon Europe call – and development of digital and physical prototypes that will be tested in the next experimental phase.
