NEMO is organising a 2-day workshop on museum in the sustainable transition and climate risk preparedness in cooperation with the Louvre and Centre Marc Bloch on 14 and 15 October 2024 in Paris, France.
The aim of this workshop is to strengthen the dialogue between museum professionals and learn about new approaches on the topic of museums, climate action and sustainability. In addition to the selected NEMO members, high profile professionals from France and Germany will join the workshop and take part in the discussions and exchange.
The first workshop day will take place at the Louvre and provide input and exchange on aspects of eco-transition of museums. On the second day, participants will get to visit the Louvre Conservation Centre in Liévin and the Louvre-Lens to learn about their operations and mission.
The primary goal of the Louvre Conservation Centre, home to some 250,000 works, is to protect the French national collections entrusted to the Louvre’s safekeeping from the risk of flooding. It is also designed to improve conservation and research conditions. The Centre is one of Europe’s largest study and research centres and forms together with the Louvre-Lens, a decentralised cultural hub.
