In 2021, institutions are trying to do whatever they can to keep their doors open, while wrestling with staff shortages, budget cuts and a stronger awareness of their own environmental responsibility. When taking into account the high cost, risk and environmental impact of exhibitions, is there a more sustainable way for museums to bring people back into their institutions? Can they continue to rely on high performing big-ticket touring shows for income? What about smaller museums that can't afford these exhibits in the first place? Is there a more economically and environmentally sustainable way forward?

In this webinar, we will debate the importance of touring exhibitions while discussing sustainability, hyper-locality and the reality of making ends meet for museums in their current reality.
