Call for Papers: A Sustainable Revolution for Open-Air Museums




The second call for papers was launched by Exarc for the conference "A Sustainable Revolution for Open-Air Museums" that will be held at Butser Ancient Farm in southern England next 19-20 May 2020.

The conference, organized by EXARC (the ICOM affiliated organisation for Archaeological Open-Air Museums, Experimental Archaeology, Ancient & Traditional Technology and Interpretation & Education) together with Butser Ancient Farm (UK), will explore the future for Open-Air Museums with presentations from a range of speakers.

Among the main topics:

  • how to develop the strength of open-air museums by building partnerships with other organisations

  • how open-air museums can become leaders in sustainable solutions

  • how museums can adapt to digital change


The event, organized to coincide with the Butser's 50th anniversary, will be a hybrid event: some talks and workshops will take place on-site, another part will be broadcast online as open access.

The deadline for this second round of abstracts is January 15, 2022, notification of acceptance will be given by February 15.
