Research and Development in Sound Design for Museums and the Heritage SectorObjects of Sound subscribe to celebrating sound and music in museums and heritage sector in the following approaches:1. as objects of heritage by instilling aesthetic admiration, pleasure, wonder and memories through the display of the sound object and then moving to its possible historical, musical, economic, social, political contextualization and semiotic interpretation;2. as sonic cultures and acoustic experiences of the everyday life; 3. as future resources rather than historical documents thus moving conservation discourses from heritage to sustainability. It seeks to think of models of cultural maintenance and renewal thus assuring the vitality of musical practices.
