heritage center
Cultural exhibit space
A heritage center is a museum or visitor facility dedicated to preserving and presenting the history, culture, or traditions of a particular place, community, or group.
Unlike general museums, heritage centers focus specifically on local or cultural identity: The Celtic heritage center attracts tourists interested in Irish ancestry.
They often combine exhibits with genealogical resources, cultural programming, or historic preservation efforts.
