Connection to local community and generativity

Local communities can act as resources for museums. Museums should identify strategies to help develop local communities and contribute to their engagement. Consequently, this would strengthen the link between the arts and the region, thereby, creating a virtuous circle where, through urban regeneration, culture helps the local area grow.  The local community can bring truth and depth to cultural representations by contributing their own stories and experiences to create a narrative for the essence of a place. Through their activities, museums can be part of this narrative, striving for authenticity.
