Résumé en anglais

As migration continues to expand internationally, modern studies of cultural heritage mustincreasingly include analysis of migrant experiences and identities. Keeping in mind the fact that the ‘right to a sense of belonging’ for all citizens is a crucial component in sustainable urban development,we explore the challenges migrants face to maintain their unique identities while also integrating with conventional representations of national and community narratives. Our paper discusses the importance ofincluding migration as a critical component of heritage understanding, and how museums as institutions open to the public play a pivotal role in interpreting the intersect of migration and heritage. Engaging the work of Stuart Hall as our theoretical framework, we elaborate by analysing three sites demonstrating strategies for museums to increase migrant participation in heritage discourses: the Holocaust Museum inMilan, Contemporary Art Museum in Vienna, and ongoing Multaqa project at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. We conclude by proposing how heritage locations including museums and UNESCO World Heritage sites can improve representations of migrant identities.
