CAMOC BARCELONA 2021

Summary: The CAMOC 2021 meeting will focus on the role that city museums can play as strategic institutions of urban, social and cultural development.

Connecting cities and citizens in a multi-scale network, simultaneously taking into account the neighbourhood, city and global perspectives, can contribute to a more diversified and sustainable urban economy. City museums can promote new tourism practices, respectful of the environment and the local population. City museums should also be seen as key nodes of technical knowledge in heritage conservation and management, cultural innovation and urban cohesion that can contribute to local development.

Featuring the ICOM-CAMOC founders and developers, Suay Aksoy, Ian Jones and Chet Orloff, the History Museum of Barcelona Director Joan Roca, and speakers from over 33 cities of the 5 continents.

This event will take place on-site; however, we will also be streaming it online.
