Long-term Memory
Adult visitors may experience the Proustian Phenomena
The flood of early memories occurring within the
heritage space will allow for a broader contextualization
of the individual’s past
Museums should facilitate an environment to share
memories and personal experience
Happy memories are shared easily, painful memories may
require extra support and time

[W]hen nothing subsists of an old past,
after the death of people, after the
destruction of things… frailer but more
enduring, more immaterial, more
persistent… smell and taste still remain for a
long time… remembering… on their
almost impalpable droplet, the immense
edifice of memory. -Marcel Proust
