What is fair enough? Museums on their way to Sustainability
Museums should increasingly act towards the future in terms of sustainability towards their collections and exhibitions, visitors and employees. As institutions, they are caught between the preservation of traditions and the development of an institution that acts fairly and participatively, both internally and externally. Museums must therefore increasingly deal with questions of social responsibility. In this context, philosophical theories of justice can offer valuable perspectives as they help to understand museums not only as places of cultural heritage but also as institutions of social and cultural transformation. By placing (distributive) justice at the heart of their work, museums can contribute to a more just and inclusive society, Alice Schröder-Klaassen says.


The host is the DAAD project "GreenMuseumHub: Sustainable Futures for Museums and Heritage Sites" of Helwan University in Cairo (Egypt), Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (Germany), and Université de la Manouba (Tunisia). As part of the project, several Tea & Coffee Lectures are held each year to collectively approach the topic of "Sustainability."

During and after the presentations, we invite you to discuss this topic. Where do we see the museum's responsibilities and opportunities?
We look forward to the exchange!
