A place that is “open to the public, accessible and inclusive”, involving the “participation of diverse communities”: this is the definition of a museum adopted by ICOM in its latest version. How do cultural venues adapt to be open to all, and to come to those who can’t? How do they reach out to, welcome and involve their communities? These will be the issues addressed in this round-table in a very concrete way, to exchange together on the best practices of our cultural venues.
