Abstract
The objective of this paper is to illustrate the common social need for preservation of Cultural Heritage (CH), through innovative and interactive processes of curation of exhibits and events in places of cultural interest or remotely [1]. Through the project “Narration” we are demonstrating ways for specialized and non-specialized users to create and curate narrations of various extents based on the content available, and share them with the general public. To this extent, the main focus can remain the research of adding an impact in providing a historical and cultural significance by enhancing the understanding and appreciation of cultural values. “Narration” proposes an innovative integrated platform for curating digital exhibitions and cultural content. Through a complex schema of interconnected narrative formations, “Narration” aims to contribute to a better understanding of the cultural and artistic relationships between exhibited objects and cultural heritage collections. Aiming at enhancing the preexisting apprehension on the way cultural heritage items carry valuable and explicable meanings, Narration suggests innovative and holistic curatorial solutions which enrich cultural heritage analysis and experience.
