The next edition of the MuseumNext Museums, Green Museums Summit will be held virtually between 25 – 26 February 2026.
In February 2026 we’ll be holding a virtual conference looking at how museums are responding to the defining issues of the age, the health of our planet.
As trusted institutions we believe that museums have an important role to play in educating the public about climate change, environmental issues and leading on sustainable practice.
