Redemption - an Experimental Approach to Museum Inclusion: Case Studies from Skopje

Abstract

In the pursuit of museum redemption, a multifaceted approach emerges, encompassing institutional rejuvenation, architectural integration, and environmental optimization. This transformative process extends beyond mere renovation; it delves into the nuanced dynamics of museum surroundings, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between architectural space, visitors, curators, and researchers. At its core lies an experimental methodology, a response to the identity crisis plaguing the Republic of North Macedonia and its museums, which face the looming threat of urban irrelevance. By employing the redemption process, museums in Skopje serve as compelling case studies, illustrating its potential to reinterpret artifacts to accommodate individuals with limited abilities and diverse visitor interests. This innovative strategy not only revitalizes stagnant museum development but also fosters a culture of inclusion, offering a viable blueprint for museums worldwide.
