Whether it's an art museum, science museum, history museum, ethnology museum, botanical garden, zoo, or aquarium? Magnificent buildings, precious artworks and specimens, conversations with curators and companions, workshops and seminars you attended, or museum merchandise you purchased... Do these memories carry meaning for the rest of your life, and do they continue to shape your relationship with museums? Professor Yuasa, the first and ongoing researcher in Japan to systematically explore long-term memories of museum experiences by positioning them in life stories, will introduce case studies from her research and explain the role of museums in society through this interdisciplinary research.
