This year’s conference theme, “The Temptation of Permanence: A critical approach to museums’ permanent exhibitions,” will examine how museums rethink, reinterpret, and adapt permanent exhibitions in response to changing audiences, cultural sensitivities, and institutional priorities in the 21st century.
As this is NOT an Ethnography specific topic, but a generic museum sector dilemma, we extend this information to a wider range of museums and experts. The 2.5-day event is designed for those working across the museum and heritage sector, including curators, exhibition organizers and designers, educators, researchers, directors, cultural strategists, cultural thought leaders from across Europe and beyond.
The agenda will feature an internationally renowned keynote speaker alongside lead speakers from major European institutions, including the Pitt Rivers Museum, Wereldmuseum, and the Slovene Ethnographic Museum.
Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, roundtables, and networking sessions, the conference will explore how museums can balance long-term narratives with evolving social and curatorial perspectives.
