Twentieth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum 2027

Twentieth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland, 13-15 September 2027

Founded in 2008, The Inclusive Museum Research Network is brought together by a shared concern for the future role of the museum and how it can become more inclusive. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Twentieth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum will address the following annual themes and special focus:

2027 Special Focus—The Promise of the Museum as a Civic Space for All

Theme 1: Museums, Democracy, and Civic Life
Theme 2: Inclusion, Access, and Belonging
