Museography is an exercise in communication.
The experience of architecture is a way to interpret its meaning, to inhabit a museography in its most emotional dimension, activating the springs of memory to achieve historical empathy.
The musealization project of the Balmis Square Air Raid Shelter in Alicante is an example of psychology applied to museographic architecture.
In this refurbished shelter, small scenographic elements added to the original architecture, through visual and sound landscapes, allow us to move to its historical dimension in the past, to the events that give context and content to the building that the visitor inhabits at that moment, abstracting it from its present reality.
This shelter is located in the Plaza Balmis in Alicante and can be visited with previous reservation:
