As the landscape of attracting audiences is changing, museums are transitioning from once-hushed stewards of heritage into vibrant social, civic and participatory venues. More and more visitors explore aspects of their identity in museums and find out more about their community through new and broad museum experiences.
This year’s Museum Conference, My Museum, will open the discussion on the potential success of the third place model in Europe and the U.S.A. and explore how museums can be places of intercultural dialogue, activism and community engagement.
