WHAT'S STILL ON

WORLD MUSEUM CONNECTIONS

What is WMC?

The Mucem puts its network of partner museums in the spotlight of another long-term European project : “Re-culture: Re-branding”
Re-branding of Cultural Institutions in Western Balkans » is with a twofold objective: it aims to give more more visibility and a more modern appearance to cultural institutions in the Western Balkans. At the same time, it aims to support relations and cooperation between the cultural and creative sectors in the Western Balkans and the EU Member States.

ReCulture is part of Creative Europe Culture programme. It’s leb by Cultural Centre Trebinje (Bosnia and Herzegovina), together with Art Colony Danilovgrad (Montenegro), Museum of Contemporary Art Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Institute for Cultural Policy (Austria), MuCEM – Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean (France), INK Fest and Faculty of Dramatic Arts (Serbia)
We will focus on two of these five organisations
