Abstract

Cultural heritage, as the landmark of social memory, is highly important
in the processes of identity building. Also, as a proper representation of
past achievements in particular area(s), cultural heritage is the most
important resource for cultural tourism, travelling motivated by desire to
learn about other cultures. Innovative approaches in heritage
presentation and interpretation are of vital importance for both local
citizens and their visitors because they are enabling experiences that lead
to better understanding of messages from the past and appreciations of
diversity in cultural expressions. ―Family day at the museum‖ is a
concept that unites two generations – adults and (their) children to share,
at the museum, experiences if learning about various manifestations of
culture, diversity of cultural expressions, and, at the same time, express
their perceptions, interpretations of themes interpreted through
exhibitions and accompanying contents such as theatrical performances,
video projections, etc. This type of program provides opportunity for two
generations of local families and families on vacation to experience, in a
unique manner, (local) culture for two generations. From cultural and
economic aspect, in this paper, we are discussing issues of introducing
―Family day at the museum‖ as potentially attractive part of cultural
tourism offer in Serbia.
