A case study of an inclusive museum: The national archaeological museum of Cagliari becomes "liquid"

Abstract

From 6 to 20 June 2014, the General Directorate for the Promotion of Cultural Heritage of Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (MIBACT) launched the online consultation #culturasenzaostacoli in order to financially support a project for museum accessibility. The National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari received the most votes. Since then the museum’s team started working on the project that was called "liquid museum", mainly due to its aims of adaptability and inclusivity. This article describes the project and the main guidelines that led to the draft currently being developed. Issues related to the new exhibition and multimedia displays will not be addressed herein. The focus of this document is the new approach in the writing of a project that is not only easily replicable but especially sustainable over time, both in terms of economic costs and for the technologies that it uses, and thus ready to be changed, updated when necessary, and because of this ‘liquid’.
