TheMuseumsLab Collaborators

Through their expertise, creativity, and engagement, they have influenced the program’s direction, developed innovative projects, and addressed complex cultural issues such as historical injustices, restitution, the role of memory in contemporary society, as well as leadership in complex global contexts and the relevance and future of museums.
