Memory, A collective heritage

Stories, knowledge, and skills are among the fundamental things that shape our collective memory. Passed down from generation to generation, this memory shapes our identity and is expressed in our heritage. Several people invite you to delve into the depths of their memories in an exhibition that intertwines humanity, intangible heritage, and transmission.

A collective heritage

Stories, knowledge, and skills are among the fundamental things that shape our collective memory. Passed down from generation to generation, this memory shapes our identity and is expressed in our heritage, traditions, practices, and celebrations. This collective heritage that lives within each of us is a precious treasure that must be preserved. Each individual has a role to play in sharing this memory, which is why people are at the heart of the museum’s mission. Several people invite you to delve into the depths of their memories in an exhibition that intertwines humanity, intangible heritage, and transmission.
