The workshop will run for 2 days including the presentation of case-studies and the attending discussions, as well as site visits to the Ducal Palace in which the meeting will take place, and (tentatively) the bishop’s palace in nearby Braga. With the working title “Causing sensation: senses and textiles in the museum”, it will discuss strategies that museums and palace-museums have used, are using and would like to use in the future in order to provide their visitors with sensorial experiences regarding textiles. Various experiences have been put forth, some very simple but no less effective, that will be discussed. New digital technologies provide new ways to achieve these goals and will also be discussed.
