Museums are important media for transmitting and sharing knowledge, but also places of inspiration and delight. They have played a key role in the great scientific, cultural, social and philosophical adventures that shape our relationship with our world.
In the context of the major environmental and societal crises that we have been going through in recent years, museums are more than ever expected to be places not only of knowledge but also of debate and thought on the major challenges facing our societies. They are called upon to participate in the construction of a sustainable world that respects people and the environment.
To do this, museums have to give themselves the means to rethink their function, their role and offer to the public.
