Have you ever wondered how museums shape our understanding of the world and how they continue to evolve? This is your chance to dive deeper into the future of museums and discover how they are becoming vibrant spaces for social change and engagement. Whether you’re a frequent museum-goer, someone curious about how exhibitions are designed or a professional working in a museum, this lecture is for you.
