SUMMARY:2026 AEOM Biannual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Open-air Museums as Cultural Brokers and Agents of Change\n📅 7–10 September 2026\n📍 Romania\nDimitrie Gusti National Village Museum\, Bucharest\nASTRA Museum\, Sibiu\nThe 2026 AEOM Conference will explore the evolving role of open-air museums as bridges between cultural heritage and contemporary society. Over the past decade\, open-air museums have faced profound challenges that have reshaped the field: engaging diverse communities\, rethinking representation\, addressing sensitive histories\, accelerating digital transformation\, or adapting conservation and restoration practices to climate change and extreme weather conditions. \nThe conference in Romania will reflect on these transformations and the increasingly transformative role of open-air museums today – connecting tradition and modernity\, rural and urban contexts\, past and future — while opening space for dialogue on some of the most pressing and complex questions in open-air museology. \nAEOM 2026 will also be a celebration. We will mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of our Association and honour one of our host institutions\, the Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum\, celebrating 90 years of activity in Bucharest. \nThe conference programme will combine: \n\nInspiring presentations and discussions\nOnsite experiences and tours\nOpportunities for networking and exchange\n\nPre-conference tour: 6 September (Route & sites: Bucharest – Sinaia – Peleș and Peli șor Castles – Bucharest) \nPost-conference tour: 11 September (Sibiu – Villages of Biertan and Alma Vii and their Fortified Churches belonging to UNESCO World Heritage – Sibiu) \nWe warmly invite you to join us for this important gathering of the open-air museum community! \nCall for papers and draft programme can be downloaded here. \nFull information on registration and the programme is available here.  \n  \n \n \n
