Musei d’impresa e dei trasporti: design, memoria e territorio

Abstract

The paper analyses corporate and transport museums as cultural infrastructures deeply embedded in local territories. Using national and international data with a focus on Sicily, it highlights how privately or hybridfounded institutions act beyond conservation, linking productive heritage, design culture and territorial identity. These museums reinterpret industrial and social memory, fostering innovation and continuity between tradition and contemporary culture within regional development dynamics.
