The University of Amsterdam HeritageLab (ErfgoedLab)

At the Heritage Collections department of the University of Amsterdam, a leftover space was designated in early 2010 as a temporary laboratory for experimentation with heritage concepts, collections and audiences, in the framework of developing plans for renewing the concept and presentations of the archaeological museum. A series of projects have been executed, each in close collaboration with staff and students from different faculties. The HeritageLab has turned out to be an interesting alternative platform for visualizing and presenting research as well as an excellent tool for communication between a university museum and academic education and science
