The Ecomuseum Practices: An International Overview

Abstract

The deductive study has been carried out for achieving the research objective of providing a managerial interpretation of ecomuseum as a community governance model suitable for facing the “glocal” crisis; it is strengthened with an overview of this cultural heritage model on an international level. From the empirical cases provided by the “ecomuseology” literature, this chapter aims at outlining the ecomuseum phenomenon under a twofold perspective: the relationship between the ecomuseum and the community and the relationship between the ecomuseum and the environment. This overview is important for a better understanding of the research choice to develop the Tuscan experience, in the Italian context.
