What TheMuseumsLab is about
Museums are part of societies; they bear witness to relationships between societies, countries and
continents.
As living institutions, they have a responsibility to learn from their history and actively shape
change for individuals, locally and globally.
Together with 50 African and European fellows, over 100 lecturers, speakers and mentors from African
and European arts, cultures and sciences, TheMuseumsLab aims to change not only museums but also
foster societal change by addressing urgent issues such as global equality, social justice, and climate change.
TheMuseumsLab is a programme developed to support professional exchanges between curators,
researchers, and executives, working in museums, galleries and heritage sites across African and European countries,
enabling staff to share knowledge, skills and best practice and support their individual professional development.
TheMuseumsLab is dedicated to providing a safe and welcoming experience for its participants.
We value and promote diversity, inclusivity, fairness and openness and reject any form of
discrimination, harassment, and racism.
