What is industry curation? It is derived from the idea of heritage interpretation.
Heritage interpretation is used to communicate the nature, origin, and purpose of historical, natural, or cultural resources, objects, sites and phenomena using personal or non-personal methods.
Examples include audio tours of well-known tourist spots or information boards at national parks, or at Te Papa museum, where displays are interpreted for a wide audience.
