Who We Are
Formally, the committee members serve as the trustees of the organisation, initiating and overseeing most of MEG’s activities. But in practice, MEG often feels more like a collective – a dynamic, supportive group of peers who share ideas, challenges, and solutions. Committee members are united by a commitment to learning from one another and fostering collaboration across the museum ethnography community.
