The Catalan Agency of Cultural Heritage has organised a workshop with Timothy Powell, an expert on new narratives, at the Royal Monastery of Santes Creus (Aiguamúrcia) on 29 October to mark the celebration of the 4th Cultural Heritage Seminar.
The workshop (only given in English and without translation) will serve to work on how to create innovative visitor experiences by using technologies or new narratives. Powell is the Head of the Research and Development Studio at Historic Royal Palaces in London and has developed various innovative experiences, especially “The Lost Palace”, a tour of the destroyed Whitehall Palace, winner of the Best in Heritage and Heritage in Motion awards
The workshop is aimed at all cultural heritage professionals dedicated to creating experiences, from curators or managers to designers, technicians or communication managers.
