At the same time, the inclusive narrative that makes a museum interesting and engaging for tourists is also beneficial to society at large, and not just because of increased tourist revenues: the atmosphere of an open museum fosters the constructive and inclusive dialog that is the bedrock of any enduring pluralistic society. Heritance developed the concept of the Open Museum in order to foster and promote open and inclusive museums. Heritance’s vision of the Open Museum is based on three core principles: Open Museography. Understanding others depends on listening to their stories and seeing things from their point of view. Open museums display objects and organize exhibits that tell stories from multiple and contrasting perspectives. Open Governance. Heritance believes that only museums that practice transparent, inclusive and open governance can consistently and reliably represent the diversity of any community. Moreover, open governance strengthens the community by modeling the practices essential to peaceful coexistence and local autonomy. Open Access. Open museums create an environment that is welcoming and accessible to the entire range of museum stakeholders. This means bringing the museum to the people through traveling exhibits, school outreach, performances, celebrations, and the Internet.

At the same time, the inclusive narrative that makes a museum interesting and engaging <strong>for</strong> tourists is<br />

also beneficial to society at large, and not just because of increased tourist revenues: the atmosphere of an<br />

open museum fosters the constructive and inclusive dialog that is the bedrock of any enduring pluralistic<br />

society.<br />

Heritance developed the concept of the Open Museum in order to foster and promote open and inclusive<br />

museums. Heritance’s vision of the Open Museum is based on three core principles:<br />

Open Museography. Understanding others depends on listening to their stories and seeing things from<br />

their point of view. Open museums display objects and organize exhibits that tell stories from multiple<br />

and contrasting perspectives.<br />

Open Governance. Heritance believes that only museums that practice transparent, inclusive and open<br />

governance can consistently and reliably represent the diversity of any community. Moreover, open<br />

governance strengthens the community by modeling the practices essential to peaceful coexistence<br />

and local autonomy.<br />

Open Access. Open museums create an environment that is welcoming and accessible to the entire<br />

range of museum stakeholders. This means bringing the museum to the people through traveling<br />

exhibits, school outreach, per<strong>for</strong>mances, celebrations, and the Internet.<br />

Heritance was founded in February 2007 and during the first year of operation, delivered on-site workshops,<br />

consultations and seed grants to fifteen museums in eight countries, including Colombia, Kenya,<br />
