The conferences will collectively examine the topic of Upheaval – knowing that contemporary issues and forces around the world, including the pandemic, have had a great impact on museums and museum professionals. At the same time, museums are creating their own upheavals – through innovation, reconfiguration, and new priorities that will reshape their work for years to come.
