The next edition of the MuseumNext Museum Games & Play Summit will be held online between 18-19 September 2024 (BST).
Museums are typically thought of as destinations to house and display art, artefacts and collections of cultural interest. But in an age of shortened attention spans, it’s becoming more obvious that museums can’t simply be something nice to look at — they must actively engage their visitors. To do this, many institutions are turning to play, in its many forms, to both engage and educate those who walk through their doors.
The Museum Games & Play Summit 2024 will bring together museum professionals from around the globe to share best practice in creating engaging playful experiences both in the museum and online.
Call for papers: 20 June 2024
