WHAT IS A MUSEUM
• Museums are democratising,
inclusive and polyphonic spaces for critical dialogue about the pasts and the futures. Acknowledging and
addressing the conflicts and
challenges of the present, they hold artefacts and specimens in trust for society, safeguard diverse memories for future generations and guarantee equal rights and equal access to
heritage for all people.
