The annual UK Museums Association conference will be held digitally in 2020 on the theme “World Turned Upside Down: Exploring the Future of Museums”.
The UK Museums Association Conference will explore changes to how we connect to our communities, care for collections, and support our staff, freelancers and volunteers. The conference will address new realities of the coronavirus pandemic and investigate how we can emerge from the crisis with the tools to meet the needs of our communities and will examine the decolonisation of museums and the role the sector has in helping to address the racism, injustice and discrimination that blight our societies. The conference aims to investigate what we need to do to create inclusive, participatory and sustainable museums and develop the skills to advocate and effectively make the case for investment in museums, while providing a platform for networks and peers to discuss the challenges ahead and share ideas from across the globe.
