Heritage. Museums. People. 

Research. Teaching. Learning.

Delve into the world of cultural heritage with us! We grasp the complex connections between past, present and future, studying (im)material cultures and challenging conservation norms.

Whether you're a student, scholar, or journalist, come unravel the fascinating tapestry of human and non-human histories with us. Together, let's make a meaningful impact through outreach and engagement.
