Organising the voice of museums for social impact: MuseumWeek, the international week of museums

Championing Museum Workers and Artists Worldwide
Beyond MuseumWeek, our Magazine serves as a continuous beacon of influence. Throughout the year, the Magazine publishes interviews, articles, and insights from leaders in culture, artists, and other creatives. This platform allows us to keep a sustained presence in the cultural conversation, offering practical advice for digital engagement, spotlighting success stories, and diving into key topics that matter to the cultural community and the general public.
The MuseumWeek Magazine is a prestigious publication dedicated to the vibrant and dynamic world of art, culture, and heritage. As the voice of the Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) community, it offers in-depth insights, compelling stories, and the latest trends in the cultural sector. MuseumWeek Magazine is not just a magazine; it is an essential resource and a meeting point for professionals and enthusiasts who are passionate about the preservation and celebration of our global cultural heritage.
Exhibiting
We have also launched an exhibition dedicated to biodiversity, designed to travel across the globe, strengthening the role of culture and artists in raising public awareness about environmental issues. This exhibition serves as a powerful reminder of how culture can help tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time, fostering a deeper understanding of our connection to nature.
The impact of this exhibition goes beyond showcasing art; it aims to engage audiences in a conversation about biodiversity and the environment, emphasizing how art can move people and inspire action. With each edition held in different cities (e.g., Paris, Lisbon), the exhibition grows, involving more artists and expanding its reach and influence.
