INTERMUSEUM

InterMuseum invites museum professionals, scholars, artists, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and civil society to discuss challenges, share expertise, and engage in dialogue about preserving and advancing cultural heritage. Together, we can transform museums into true laboratories of the future, where tradition converges with progress, and the past becomes part of a vibrant, dynamic world.

Museums are not merely custodians of the past. They are living heritage laboratories — spaces for research, discovery, and reinterpretation. Here, tradition meets innovation, science intersects with art, and society engages with technology. In today’s world, museums have become hubs for active dialogue about our heritage, fostering its preservation, understanding, and integration into contemporary life.

Cultural heritage is the foundation of national memory, collective identity, and the unbroken bond between the past, present, and future.

It shapes our culture, nourishes creative industries, inspires art and science, and is the cornerstone for sustainable societal and economic development.
