Fourth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum

The Fourth International Conference on the Inclusive Museum will be held 30 June-3 July at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Thank you to all of those who contributed to the 2010 Inclusive Museum Conference, held at Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey. The conference brought together delegates from many backgrounds and discipline areas, continuing the conference’s commitment to inclusive dialogue.

Both delegates who attended the conference and virtual delegates may upload their presentations and videos to the Museum Conference YouTube channel. (Information on uploading your presentation available here.)
