As a former curator, director and professor of theory of heritage, now retired, I can return to neglected experimental projects. The increasingly warring Planet may need simple messages. Some are possible through collecting places of legendary loves and their memory (www.globallovemuseum.net ). Others might assist the great mission of supporting European identity through people-bridges, whose identities are shared by two or more cultures. As university professor, I have been lecturing and writing for the last 27 years about science of public memory. Experimentation is an obligation of any science. One of the projects of the sort was The Best in Heritage conference (www.thebestinheritage.com), successfully created 15 years ago. Among the others, only the Global Love Museum and this site under construction, are currently visible.
(Tomislav Šola)

A tiny NGO, European Heritage Association, hosts since 2002 this initiative of Tomislav Šola who started promoting it in 1987 and made it public with the text in ICOM’s magazine Museum International (UNESCO, Paris, No. 209, Vol. 53.) 2001. The project was given more substantial help in 2006 when the first site was launched and the Association now supports its new start in 2016.

Professor Šola is currently writing a book as an account of his fascination three decades long.
