Our online programme continues with six new video interviews, this time with laureates from Poland, United States, Russia, United Kingdom and Italy. In the core programme section, you will learn about the magnificent underground conservation project awarded with the European Heritage Award / Europa Nostra Award, about how a ceremonial summer residence of Russian emperors was over time transformed into a museum complex with award-winning educational initiatives, about how a birthplace of once richest man in the world became a museum beloved by children and families, and about innovative model of immersive and transformative learning as a result of cooperation between a museum, university and public schools. In the IMAGINES portion we feature the Smithsonian’s interactive platform that supports more than a million educators and students, and an app that is a wish-come-true for all archaeologists identifying thousands of pot and ceramic fragments manually. 

Enjoy the rest of summer and watch this space for fresh releases!
