Description
COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the international museum community and confronted it with critical questions and decisions about the future of our museums. In order to successfully overcome ongoing and future challenges in the post-COVID-19 world, it will be crucial for museums to adapt and proactively demonstrate their value to society. In order to comprehensively address these critical issues, providing useful insights on ways forward to realize the full potential of museums as agents of transformation, UNESCO and ICCROM have joined forces to organize the webinar “Museums after the pandemic”.
