Niteliksel, literatür temelli bir derleme yöntemi ve karşılaştırmalı analiz yaklaşımı benimsenerek yürütülen araştırmada, MuCEM’in kuruluş süreci, misyonu, mimari anlatısı, sergileme stratejileri ve katılımcı uygulamaları değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada, toplumsal müzecilik, kültürel temsil ve kolektif hafıza kuramları çerçevesinde MuCEM’in geleneksel Avrupa merkezli müze anlatılarına nasıl bir eleştiri sunduğu tartışılmaktadır. Ayrıca, İtalya’daki Museo Delle Civiltà ve Türkiye’deki AKMED örnekleriyle kısa bir karşılaştırma yapılarak, Akdeniz kimliğine yönelik farklı müzecilik yaklaşımları analiz edilmektedir. Bulgular, MuCEM’in yalnızca bir kültür kurumu değil, aynı zamanda eleştirel ve diyalojik bir kamusal alan olarak işlev gördüğünü ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, MuCEM’in kapsayıcı ve katılımcı stratejilerinin Türkiye’deki müzecilik pratikleri açısından da dönüştürücü bir potansiyel taşıdığını vurgulamaktadır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>This study explores the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations (MuCEM) as a model of a contemporary community museum within the Mediterranean context. Adopting a qualitative, literature-based review and comparative analysis methodology, the paper evaluates MuCEM’s foundation process, mission, architectural narrative, curatorial strategies, and participatory practices. The study draws on theoretical frameworks of social museology, cultural representation, and collective memory to examine how MuCEM reflects and challenges traditional Eurocentric museum narratives. Furthermore, the article briefly compares MuCEM with Italy’s Museo Delle Civiltà and Türkiye’s AKMED, highlighting differences in approach to Mediterranean identity and public engagement. The findings suggest that MuCEM functions not only as a cultural institution but also as a critical and dialogic public space. The study also underlines the relevance of MuCEM’s participatory and inclusive strategies for rethinking museum practices in Türkiye and beyond.</p></trans-abstract>
