Join us at the 14th CoMuseum International Conference where we will be exploring the theme of Museums and Trust. We will delve deeper into how museums and cultural organizations, as trustworthy institutions, can contribute to enhancing people’s lives by addressing the challenges of fair treatment. As tradition holds, we will be joined by outstanding museum professionals, academics, museum and exhibition managers, members of civil society, representatives of cultural organisations and independent artistic groups from around the world!

Don't miss this opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions and gain valuable insights into the role of museums in building trust within communities.

With three days of talks, discussions, workshops and networking activities – CoMuseum is more than just a conference: It is an international hub for the exchange of knowledge for the well-being of cultural organizations and the empowerment of their communities, which facilitates and fosters the creation of networks and synergies.

We especially invite you to presentation of results of the Future Scenarios for Museums and Art Institutions workshops and foresight process that involved key representatives of Polish art institutions. The project was realised earlier on this year by the 4CF The Futures Literacy Company, FutureEverything, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Warsaw.
