The Nordic Watercolour Museum presents: The Museum and...
- Updated
What is the role of an art museum beyond its own walls? Is it just a place for devoted art lovers? A place where historical objects gather dust? Or can a museum actually make a difference?
At a time when discussions about fake news flourish, public trust in museums is at an all-time high. In fact, according to the annual Swedish SOM Institute survey of public opinion, museums rank ahead of the police, healthcare, and politics in terms of public trust. Does this trust bring a particular responsibility for museums to take on?
As part of our 25th jubilee, we invite you to a digital lecture series exploring the role of the museum. Across five lectures, each approaching the topic from a completely different perspective, art meets neuroscience, education, and AI, among other fields. We are curious about how The Nordic Watercolour Museum truly matters beyond its own sphere, as well as the broader impact of culture on people and society.
One of The Nordic Watercolour Museum’s ambitions is to be a resource far beyond its own walls. That is why this autumn’s lectures are digital and open to all, wherever you are. Participation is free, but pre-registration is required.
