Summary
Museums that exhibit a historical heritage are architecture that house time. This is the process of constructing new structures while maintaining traces of heritage and balancing the old and the new. Museums that use historical sites optimally preserve the structure of the ruins, completing the museum by placing a new structure on top of them. This process entails a continuous process of integrating the two values of preservation and transformation. A detailed observation and analysis on the way the old and the new meet is required as well as how the sensations experienced at that encounter point can provide [3] an authentic message on the value of the heritage
