New Routes of the «Museum Guide-2023» Forum

The «Museum Guide-2023» Forum will take place in June in a hybrid format. The annual event, organized by the Vladimir Potanin Foundation, aims to support the grantees of the «Museums Without Borders» program, who are active participants in the regional museum community.

Oksana Oracheva, the General Director of the Vladimir Potanin Foundation: «Our museum forum has been held for over 10 years, and it has always represented the idea of movement: from one region to another, from one subject or object to the next one. This year, we embraced the idea inherent in the forum's name and invited the authors of sociocultural projects to embark on creative expeditions to different regions. In this way, specialists will be able to personally get acquainted with the specifics of regional venues, learn about the practices applied by the colleagues from other cities, and discover successfully implemented tools and technologies. We hope that this format will help to establish new partnerships, strengthen key skills and competencies needed in project museum activities».

The program of the forum in 2023 includes expert discussions in St. Petersburg, as well as regional events for the Foundation grantees in three cities: Yekaterinburg, Samara, and Yaroslavl. Additionally, a website of the forum will be launched soon, where online broadcasts and useful materials will be available.

Thus, «Museum Guide» continues to bring together professionals from the museum community and serve as a space for exchanging experience and opportunities, working towards the development of horizontal connections and the actualization of cultural meanings, as well as enhancing expertise and competence of cultural employees.

The general media partner of the forum is the social network VKontakte.

Media partners: radio station «Kultura», media resources «ArtMoskoviya», «Tochka ART», and «Mir muzeya».

About the Forum:

The forum is a meeting place for museum professionals and specialists from the fields of culture, science, art, tourism, urban planning, and media - all those who are ready to move beyond the familiar, seek and find new forms and methods of work at the intersection of disciplines.
