Our blog is a critical and reflective space. Several authors have reviewed projects, workshops, events, and conferences organised by them or in which they have participated. This makes the MEG blog a dynamic forum for current discussions and a comprehensive archive of these activities. Readers can delve into this rich repository to explore past experiences, discussions, and reflections. Through our blog we aim to foster continuous learning and engagement within the museum sector.
