MuseiEmotivi workshops include training sessions with talks by recognised scientists and experts from different disciplines, addressing the relationship between emotions and museums, and solutions for user engagement. They are taken inside Italian museums – physical locations that provide facilities and the opportunity for interactive lab sessions with proofs of concepts. A focused community and open-minded network of international experts and over 200 professionals has formed over the years, which shares ideas, best practice and the challenges of contemporary museums, looking at museums as user-centered dynamic and social spaces where both digital and physical tools harmonise with each other to improve knowledge transfer and audience engagement and remove any accessibility constraints.
