    UNESCO's Report on

    Museums Around the World

    in the Face of COVID-19

    MuseumExpert.org founder Walter Staveloz speaks 

    with Professor François Mairesse, report author.


    The cultural sector has been severely and persistently affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with museums particularly hard hit. In this difficult context, UNESCO has  recently published a study of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on museum attendance, budgets, and activities to assess the threats to the sector and its evolution in the next few years. MuseumExpert.org speaks with the author to analyze the main findings and to explore future trends that will affect all decisions we will have to make as museum leaders and professionals. Professor Mairesse has expertise in foresight for the future of the museum field, and we expect the conversation will deliver an interesting perspective that will help inspire our work.  Register Here (You can send questions ahead of time when you register)

He also teaches museology at the Ecole du Louvre. He was formerly president of the International Committee for Museology of ICOM (ICOFOM). He is the author of several articles and books on museology.
