Conference: Museums & Municipalities in Europe: Working relationships, perspectives and management
An initiative of the ENCATC working group ‘Cultural Observatories and Information and Knowledge’ funded by the European Commission under the budget line Policy Grouping. It aims to reflect on the role of Culture Observatories in the Future in Europe.
The policy analysis group, “Museums and Municipalities” held its final conference in Brussels on December 9-10, 2010. This international conference aimed to present and discuss with museum managers and curators, local authorities, researchers and experts the results of one year of activity focused on the analysis of the relations between museums and municipalities, the benefits derived from this relationship; the existing partnerships between museums and local municipalities; the mechanisms required to make these relations more efficient (among others: objectives, indicators, institutional relationships).
