*Re-Visiting the Contact Zone: Museums, Theory, Practice*
17-21 July 2011

*Chaired by:*
Sharon MacDonald - University of Manchester,UK
Cilly Kugelmann - Jewish Museum Berlin, DE
 * Programme*

Museums form an important part of the cultural heritage of all European
countries. As institutions museums have tended to remain focused on the
nation state for historical, political and financial reasons, but many of
the issues museums aim to respond to today transcend national boundaries.
This international European Science Foundation funded conference seeks to
provide a platform for exchange, reflecting on the new EU-wide interest in
museums as spaces of cultural encounter that occupy a unique position at the
junction between 'the local', 'the national' and 'the global'.
