Alliance of Early Universal Museums
Professional expertise, provenance research and the development of future scenarios for the presentation and research of the unique Early Universal Museums: We are delighted to host this year's annual conference of the Alliance of Early Universal Museums!
Annual exhibition takes a look at the culture of dispute
The castle and the lecture hall were the arenas of contention in the past; today they are more like screens and football stadiums. Has everything else remained the same? With significant disputes in historical and contemporary dispute arenas, we invite reflection on viewpoints and behaviours in our contemporary dispute culture.
