More about the Astra Museum
Since 2014, the ASTRA Museum has developed cultural programmes for the urban and rural communities to facilitate a greater understanding of the meaning of cultural heritage as their legacy. The programmes help them to embrace the museum, their own legacy, and to take part in it. ASTRA also promotes the cultural values of each area as an important point for local development through cultural tourism. The most important element of these programmes is sustainability and how we can learn from the past, how we can adapt current solutions to climate change, how we can use resources efficiently and how we can exemplify the SDGs. The programmes also outline how we can better understand the green transition and how to deal with waste.
In addition to hosting the NEMO Training in May, the ASTRA Museum is also hosting the 2024 NEMO European Museum Conference, dealing with inclusion and diversity, from 10-12 November. Sign up for a reminder to be first to learn when registration opens.
