Abstract:
Following a tour of the Sydney (Australia) Museum which is located in the basement of the old Governor’s mansion and which only has at its disposal archival documents, engravings and fragments of utensils, we come out thinking that, although poorly endowed, the institution succeeds in giving visitors a feeling of startling human riches and a true knowledge of the place and its history through the use of interactive technology. On this basis, I would like to examine the new modes of conservation which, in lieu of giving access to objects of memory, can now use technology to increase and accelerate the intelligence of their location.
