Mobility Actions - future involvement of museums in archaeological landscapes & INVITATION CLOSURE EVENT

Mobility Actions were planned as learning interactions between key actors in museums. The partners defined the topics for the future involvement of museums in archaeological landscapes and chose host institutions in different countries. Short but intense meetings (one or two weeks) of smaller groups of experts followed to work together on the predefined topic. Our partner chose:

• Archaeological museum in Zagreb (AMZ) “Cultural routes”
• Universalmuseum Joanneum (UMJ) “Public Archaeology”
• Hungarian National Museum (HNM) "Archaeological heritage tourism and smart landscape management in the 21st Century"
• National Museum of Slovenia (NMS) ”E-heritage. Everything Else is the Past”
• Rousse Regional Museum of History (RRMH) “Landscape Narratives”
• Technical University of Kosice  (TUKE) “Summer school: Protection and management of landscapes and research of landscapes” 

The intensive work was concluded with conferences, workshops, small exhibitions with guest curators or public events with all teams present. 

And we cordially invite you to our closure event in Zagreb!
