The future of architecture museums

Study day
Vicenza, Palladio Museum, 30 September 2022

Events to mark the tenth anniversary of the Palladio Museum will begin with a study day addressing some crucial issues for today's architecture museums. It will be an opportunity to reflect not only on museums that have grown up around the legacy of a single architect but also on museums dedicated to various countries’ respective architectures. The directors of some of the most dynamic architecture museums in Europe will meet in Vicenza to discuss their institution’s mission as well as current and possible future problems at a time of profound climatic, social and political changes.

The event will be streamed live on our social media channels. Attendance is free but registration required. Participants will be given an attendance certificate.

The language of the study day is English.
