At We Are Museums, we provide various pathways for museum professionals to change and work towards better futures.
Labs
Since the creation of We Are Museums, we identify and cultivate emerging models of museums that react and reply to today's people's needs and ecosystems. We accompanied museums worldwide in their transformation to constantly stay relevant locally and globally with explorative research and new types of museu practices.
We Are Museums is a calendar of experiences and events with the power to set ideas in motion and influence change. For museums and with museums, we curate and organise international events at the thresholds of museums, innovation and social purpose projects, gathering both inspiring and very hands-on examples.
As part of our 3-year research with EIT-Climate KIC, we invited 30+ museum professionals to explain how they started their climate journey, in short, insightful videos from institutions worldwide.
We Are Museums partnered with the Biomimicry Academy on a 9-month research project to identify how museums could be transformed to connect with their communities and neighbors better, inspired by mycelium networks and permeability principles.
A visual roadmap for museums to start their climate journey with practical climate actions to activate in four main steps, with plenty of examples of smaller steps.
We produced an extensive list of articles and handbooks explaining how museums could use Web3 technologies to serve their missions, and go even further.
