Living Museum
A "Living Museum" is an interactive space where visitors can experience history and culture in a dynamic way. Unlike traditional museums that display artifacts behind glass, living museums often feature costumed interpreters who reenact historical events or demonstrate traditional crafts. This immersive approach allows guests to engage with the past through hands-on activities and storytelling.
These museums often focus on specific themes, such as historical villages, cultural heritage, or natural history. Examples include Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia and Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts. Living museums aim to educate the public while providing an entertaining experience that brings history to life.
