Fostering Diversity & Inclusion across Italy
In partnership with the US Department of State, The Phillips Collection collaborated with museums across Italy in fostering diversity and inclusion for audience and program development.
How can we create a visionary design of a museum—as a place for people to meet and converse? How are we breaking expectations for how people experience museums? We explored these questions and exchanged ideas for how the future of museums and the arts can be imbued with principles of diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.
