The university museums and their publics : colloquium international (Liège • 5 to 7 November 2019)

Since the beginning of the 21st century, university museums have experienced a real revival of interest. University actors have the ambition to give a new meaning to their museum structures and express the need for official recognition by the international community of museum professionals.

WHY FOCUSING ON PUBLICS?

Today's university museums are still too small an audience. This therefore prompts us to evaluate, on the occasion of this symposium, the reasons for this observation and to question the contemporary practices of our academic institutions: elitist discourse? dusty scenography? modes of communication towards inadequate audiences? collections that are too little known and heterogeneous?

The purpose of this conference is to invite universities and collection managers to conduct a global reflection on their public reception policy.

 

* Registration required before October 25, 2019
Expenses (meals, visits, etc.): 25 € / day - 10 € per day for students (students can only attend conferences for free).
