Museums, Migrants and Cultural Diversity

NEMO - The Network of European Museum Organisations,
30 May 2016, International

Against the backdrop of the recent migration movements in Europe, NEMO has published an adapted recommendation by the German Museums Association to support museum work in the field. EU Member States are struggling to find ways to deal with, adapt to and accommodate a changing and more diverse society. This is when the value of culture becomes particularly important as an asset and response to the challenges of integrating migrants and refugees. Especially museums, experienced in working with marginalised communities and minorities, offer a personal, cultural approach to new communities and support dialogue between cultures, enabling others to understand their place in the world.
