MuseumNext's "Museum Social Impact Summit" will take place online between 22-23 May 2024 (BST).
Museums are transcending their traditional roles to make significant contributions to addressing pressing societal challenges, such as poverty, climate change, mental health and equality for all. These cultural institutions, once seen primarily as repositories of history, art and science have evolved into dynamic hubs for social impact and change. They are no longer content with simply showcasing the past; instead, they are actively shaping the future by engaging with the most pressing issues of our time.
The Museum Social Impact Summit 2024 will delve deep into this transformation, highlighting how museums are harnessing their unique resources, collections, and expertise to drive positive change in society.
