MuseumWeek 2023, wrapping up in style!
Once again, the UNESCO-supported International Week of Museums has underscored the enduring vitality of cultural organizations and their remarkable significance in generating social impact.
Dear MuseumWeek Participants and Supporters,
As we draw the curtains on the remarkable tenth edition of MuseumWeek, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the cultural organizations, partners, volunteers, artists, and speakers who made this event an unforgettable celebration of culture and environmental awareness.
With the theme of "Nature and Culture," MuseumWeek 2023 aimed to emphasize the crucial role of culture in promoting the preservation of our planet and fostering harmony among all living beings. We were delighted to witness an overwhelming and high-quality online participation, along with a multitude of engaging events and captivating online talks!
Kindly note that in the coming days and weeks, we will be sending out:
#️⃣ several recap emails to provide an overview of the participation around the daily themes
🎙️ special emails for MuseumWeek Talks replays (some replays won’t be available for free, consider subscribing to our paid edition, it’s just the price of a double expresso ☕️ ☕️ per month!)
What about MuseumWeek 2024 will you ask? Dates to be released soon, stay tuned!
However, for now, it is time for gratitude and appreciation!
Super thanks to the volunteers!
