Museums the world over have a duty to foster learning and share knowledge by providing the public with access to objects and artifacts collected by cultures and peoples from around the globe.
In order to overcome this hurdle, the Sharjah Museums Authority (SMA), in partnership with Germany’s Goethe-Institut, hosted the “Appropriate Museology – Appropriate Language” conference. This pioneering symposium, held at the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization, aimed to improvecross-cultural communication in museology and museum practice by acknowledging and mediating the differences in a multicultural and multilingual museum environment, be it in the Emirates or elsewhere in the world.
