12th Ibero-American Museum Meeting
From September 14 to 16, 2026, the city of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, will host the 12th Ibero-American Museum Meeting, an international space for reflection, exchange, and cooperation for the museum sector in the region, under the theme “Shared Heritage, Common Futures.”
Aimed at public managers, museum and heritage professionals, researchers, cultural agents, and individuals interested in the museum field, the Meeting seeks to strengthen a collective perspective that connects heritage, present, and future, recognizing its social, diverse, and shared dimension.
The programme will take place in person, with partial online streaming, and will include conferences, panel discussions, presentation of papers and experiences, workshops, exploratory visits, and collaborative working spaces. These activities will be structured around three thematic axes:
- Diversity and social appropriation of heritage. People and communities at the centre
- Narrate, interpret, co-create. Heritage as a field of debate
- Biocultural territories and a culture of peace. Pathways towards shared futures
The 12th Meeting is an initiative of the Ibermuseos Programme and the Dirección General de Museos of the Ministry of Culture of the Dominican Republic, with the support of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID).
Places are limited. Register and be part of this space for exchange, learning, and collaboration for museums in Ibero-America.
