Communicating the Museum Museums Beyond Walls

Los Angeles will host the 19th edition of Communicating the Museum at the Getty, LACMA, Hammer Museum, Natural History Museum and in a number of other cultural institutions, from 6 to 9 November 2017. Over four days, 300 culture professionals from 30+ countries will focus on the theme "Museums Beyond Walls".

Many museums define themselves by the uniqueness of their buildings, from historic palaces to purpose-built architectural statements. At the same time, museums are channelling more time and money into diverse actions beyond the limits of these buildings. What, then, is the social mission of today’s museums?

This November, Communicating the Museum takes the pulse of the world. Across a four-day programme of events, debates, workshops, talks and tours, you will discover the best museum outreach initiatives, the most challenging collaborations, and the most insightful successes (and failures) in the fields of education, communications, and audience engagement. Professionals from museums large and small, historic and contemporary, will gather from across the world with experts in the sectors of technology, business, media and academia. Together, we will explore some of the most pressing questions facing culture today: why do some people never come to museums? How can we reach new communities? What is our social and political purpose? And what are the limits?

The full conference ticket offers exceptional value, as the 3-day pass includes access to all conference sessions, conference material, guided visits, lunches, cocktail receptions and coffee breaks.
