Heritage is a dynamic concept up to interpretation by individuals and communities. It is shaped by the culture we engage with.

This can both increase accessibility in heritage and remove vital context and importance from the object. The changes in how we engage with museums resulting from the pandemic fundamentally affect the way we engage with and interpret heritage.
