\u00a0ICME\/2014\/ Croatia will organise the conference as a forum where museum professionals, students and academic researchers can discuss innovative ways of presenting heritage in museums (through recent permanent and temporary exhibitions or online projects) they have taken part in or studied during recent years, as well as projects in process or planned for the near future. This conference aims to initiate a debate about new ways of thinking and working in museums today and in the future.<\/p>\n
The conference is planned as a forum where experts, primarily ethnologists and cultural anthropologists, students and academics will briefly speak (for between 20-30 minutes) to the theme, highlighting contemporary problems and challenges faced by museum exhibitions, as well as the extramural activities they organize around them for specific target audiences such as families, children, elders and migrant communities.
\nPapers will be organised into thematic units and followed by a discussion and exchange of experience in relation to each set of papers discussed. A major aim for this conference is to initiate an on-going discussion about the challenges, problems and new possibilities of planning and working on exhibitions or joint projects.
