Pamuk's concern with experience and emotion, rather than representation, and with the vibrant materiality of objects, rather than representative collections, links to the scholarly shift in interest from what heritage might mean to what it might do. The Museum of Innocence Orhan Pamuk Translated by Maureen Freely A deeply moving portrait of a torturous love affair that shows Istanbul in all its complex beauty. I suggest that Pamuk's Museum of Innocence imagines a utopian future for heritage and museums that is centered on the constitution of empathic, materially mediated experiences of the everyday, particularly of joy, love, and happiness, emotions rarely encompassed or made visible through the frame of heritage. Pamuk's valuing of the everyday-the quotidian materiality of ordinary human lives-can be read as a critique of the concept of heritage significance and a reimagining of the field of heritage and museums where the material traces of the past are not uprooted from their neighborhoods but cared for at home and curated with love.

In his museum of the same name, which opened in 2012, and its catalog, The Innocence of Objects, Pamuk articulates a clear political agenda through his 'Modest Manifesto for Museums,' which expresses deep suspicion of the relationship between the narratives of the past told through grand museums and the power of the state.
