The Hands On! Conference is a source of inspiration for museums from across the globe. The Hands On! board, in cooperation with main organisers Rijksmuseum and the Jewish Historical Museum, will welcome 300 guests in Amsterdam. Science Center Nemo, the National Maritime Museum and the Dutch Museums Association are also involved in the organisation of the conference. Over 30 other Dutch museums are united in an advisory group and will be present during the conference.
Participants
Most participants are representatives of (children’s) museums and science centers from nearly forty countries worldwide. Some smaller museums barely have a budget to travel and be inspired by other institutions and projects. Furthermore, approximately 30 Dutch museums will participate.
Programme
Keynote speakers, panels, lectures, workshops and networking opportunities are the ingredients for an inspiring gathering at diverse locations. (Rijksmuseum, Jewish Historical Museum, National Maritime Museum, Science Center NEMO). Participants will visit (children’s) museums and science centers throughout the Netherlands.
To realize the conference and to make it accessible for smallers museums we are looking for sponsors. We hope that you will consider supporting us and the work of the Hands On! organization. The main organisers (Rijksmuseum and the Jewish Historical Museum) are both not-for-profit organizations (ANBI Status). Thus, your possible sponsorship will have fiscal benefits.
