Why do historical objects invoke feelings of thrill for some, but remain soulless for others? This indescribable feeling has been less addressed in the literature. In the present article, Kant’s concept of sublime has been used to describe the state of the audience. The Sublime is stimulated in the form of movement through a large object in our minds. It challenges the limits of the power of imagination, and makes us aware of our supernatural destiny which in Kant’s brief definition: is a feeling that is closely linked to a moral talent similar to morality.
Some historical objects can arouse the imagination of the audience, to describe the sublime in the museum. Thus, the man tries to use his imagination to reflect on the past of the objects, people, or societies that have created them and thus, vanished. This action leads to transcendence from the sensory criteria and awareness of their supernatural destiny. Accordingly, the conscious use of this feeling in a museum can lead to the formulation of new policies, to attract the audience and educate on the ethics of society.
