The Children in Museums Award is a joint venture between Hands On! and the European Museum Academy. It was launched back in 2011 and its aim is to reward the hard work of creative and innovative exhibitions aimed at children up to 14 years old.
Besides the innovation, the judges value the ways the exhibition can change the museum’s practices. That is why they pay special attention to interpretation and presentation.
The 2020 CIMUSET CIMCIM Conference in Paris is now accepting papers and other contributions.
This edition will have "Playing and operating: functionality in museum objects and instruments" as its main theme. Sub-themes will be:
1. The ontology of functional objects
2. Interpretation of functional objects
3. Good practice and risk management
For more information, please take a look at the PDF attached below.
The deadline for paper submissions is 22 October 2019.
The call for the 2020 edition is open, with two categories: Beacon of the Year and Sustainable Success. Does your project deserve an Award? Or do you know an initative or peer who does?
