Open Museum Conferences
"Re-imagining Museums"
Each year, Open Museum organizes a conference around inclusion, diversity and accessibility in Brussels’ museums. We bring together experts, activists, and museums to discuss their ideas on specific topics and to hear practical examples from the sector. Find links below to our annual conferences where you can watch videos from all of our participants.
What does it mean to be an inclusive institution? What happens when we focus on the people in the museums? Why are some non-visitors avoiding the museum? Why should the front desk be involved in the museum’s decision-making? How does one choose partners that fit with the museums’ values?
Mary Peterson organized the second “Open Museum: Re-imagining museums as human-centered” on Wednesday, 30 March 2022 at the cultural center Tour à Plomb.
