Overview
The creation of the Garden of Memories will complement the outdoor design in accordance with the sustainable development approach of the museum. The mission is to revive memories. The effect of plants and the stories story on the visitor should be similar to the effects of artefacts in a museum. The Garden will bring back memories of tastes, places and events.
The plants will be donated to the museum by individuals, public parks and municipalities (floral emblems). Plants will be associated to their donors through a testimony left by donors in the Garden The testimonies will allow visitors to share their life experiences.
Garden visitors with iPads will be able to read and listen to stories about each plant. Their own memories will resurface allowing them to share and contribute as well.
