TheMuseumsLab Forum brings together the Fellows 2026, Museum Directors, and Colleagues from across the Network and beyond. It creates a shared space to reflect on the role of museums and memorial sites today, and to collectively imagine how we can shape their futures through stronger international collaboration.
Through self-facilitated sessions and participatory roundtables, participants will engage in discussions on governance and accountability, ethical practices and restitution, leadership development, public engagement, and digital innovation. The programme aims to create space for exchange, joint learning, and collaborative dialogue.
The evening reception will celebrate the Pre-Opening of a new permanent exhibition at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, showcasing the museum’s participatory approach to re-examining natural history collections through multi-perspective views, expertise and narratives from countries of origin, and collaborative curatorial practices.
