Deutsch-Polnischer Museumsdialog
German-Polish Museum Dialogue
As part of our international project, the German-Polish Museum Dialogue, we take the opportunity to reflect on visitor research together with colleagues from both countries. In the current crisis, we are using online formats and alternative working methods for this purpose.
our mission
Museum professionals from Germany and Poland rarely meet at conferences and do not yet have suitable museum-specific platforms for the exchange of ideas, solutions as well as the development of joint projects. For this reason, in January 2021, together with our Polish partner, the National Institute for Museums and Public Collections – NIMOZ, we invited creative museum professionals who would like to develop a project on audience development together with Polish colleagues to a German-Polish Museum Dialogue. With the „German-Polish Museum Dialogue“ we would like to intensify and sustainably expand the cooperation of the neighboring countries in the museum sector. For this purpose we invite museum experts to an intercultural exchange of knowledge. Within the framework of 4 online meetings and one offline session, we would like to discuss current topics, challenges and opportunities for museums. We are pleased about the interest in the project.
Guidelines for international museum projects
With the guidelines for international museum projects we offer practical recommendations to the participants and organizers of cross-border projects. The guidelines are intended for digital and live projects as well as hybrid solutions and are available in four languages.
Internet Exhibition German-Polish Migration
