Lecture

Embedding inclusion in museums on a long-term basis. Lessons learnt and best practices from the Inclusion Network

Although there is a consensus that museums and exhibitions should be designed and realised with inclusivity in mind, putting this into practice remains a challenge. Generally speaking, all institutions face similar challenges. Over a period of four years, seven museums had the opportunity to work together on sustainable solutions for inclusive museum and exhibition design as part of a funded project. The results will be presented by representatives of the museums and subsequently discussed with the audience.
