11 presentations from the first digital version of NEMO’s European Museum Conference are available online to watch again or for the first time. The conference Museums Making Sense took place from 16-19 November 2020. More than 1.500 participants from 80+ countries registered their interest to join the conference, which explored the important role museums play in making complex matters tangible and comprehensible.

50 speakers from 15 different countries inspired the attendees to tackle complex and difficult topics through techniques such as storytelling, museum labs, change processes and multiperspective thinking. The recordings are available on NEMO’s website and on YouTube.

Originally to take place in Rijeka, Croatia, the NEMO European Museum Conference included online tours from two exhibitions that were created within the framework of Rijeka 2020 - European Capital of Culture (ECoC). Four regional museums also joined a special panel that put the spotlight on museums in Rijeka.
