How can Europe preserve, question and reimagine its cultural heritage for future generations?

CONNECT EU HERITAGE brings together five EU-funded projects: CONCILIARE, INT-ACT, RESTORY, META-MUSEUM and REEVALUATE.

We work across complementary areas, from immersive technologies and storytelling to co-creation, critical reflection and community engagement.

Together, we show how collaboration across projects can create a richer, more inclusive and forward-looking approach to heritage.

What happens to our bodies and minds when we experience cultural heritage: both inside traditional museums and out in the real world? 🏛️✨

In the META-MUSEUM project, our Pilots go far beyond standard scientific tests. They are creative, experimental journeys designed to re-imagine how we encounter the past. By measuring physiological responses during baseline tests and interactive interventions (powered by the TransforMEANS theory!), we are exploring how cultural heritage can spark modern curiosity and drive truly transformative experiences.

Curious to see how we are shaping the future of heritage?
Stay tuned for more updates!

If You Had to Invest in Tomorrow, Where Would You Put Your Coins?🪙

For the experiments at MuséoParc Alésia, our Swedish partner NCK designed an engaging experience based on the concept of coins and values.

As part of META-MUSEUM, we worked alongside the staff at MuséoParc Alésia to explore ancient Gallic and Roman coins, not just as archaeological objects, but as powerful representations of historical values that still resonate today.

To bridge the past and the future, META-MUSEUM focused on four core values of ancient Alesia:

- Courage
- Foresight
- Unity
- Responsibility

NCK developed an interactive activity where participants selected coins representing these values throughout the archaeological exhibition. At the end of the journey, they were asked to "invest" their coins to tackle the challenges of our future.

Where do you think visitors choose to invest their coins: world peace, equality, a stable economy, or a healthy environment?

✍ Stay tuned for the results!

Only a few days left to take part!

Ever walked out of a museum or exhibition with a feeling you couldn't quite explain? Or wondered whether spaces like these shape how we connect with others and understand ourselves?

The META-Museum project wants to hear from you. Whether you visit museums often, rarely, or not at all — your perspective matters just as much. No expertise required, just your genuine experience.

Time is running out — the survey closes in just a few days!
It only takes about 10 minutes; responses stay anonymous, and your input will directly feed into our research on how cultural heritage shapes emotional wellbeing and social connection today.

How can museums move beyond expert-driven narratives to foster truly inclusive communication? 🏛️🤝

As part of the Horizon Europe META-MUSEUM project, our latest research investigates the power of co-creation across European cultural institutions, including the Egyptian Museum of Turin, MuséoParc Alésia, and the Jamtli Museum. By actively involving visitors in interpretation and storytelling, we can build mutual trust, empathy, and meaningful connections with cultural heritage.

Take part in cutting-edge European research at the intersection of cultural heritage and cognitive science!

From September 7–12, 2026, the Alésia will host testing for the META-MUSEUM project, an initiative dedicated to exploring how cultural heritage can deeply engage and move the public on a personal level.

Researchers are investigating emotional responses to heritage exhibits using non-invasive brain sensors and skin conductance monitoring, paired with pre- and post-visit questionnaires.

The study is entirely safe, and the methodology is designed strictly for experiential research rather than clinical diagnosis.
