The creation of Museum Expressions
The trade show for products and cultural marketing , by Gilles BARISSAT.
The renewal of Museum Connections
Aware of the digital revolution in the cultural industry, Museum Expressions becomes Museum Connections, the major trade show for international museum business.
From now on, Museum Connections not only covers the whole range of museum shop products, but also new technologies and innovative equipment to promote cultural sites. A new exhibition area and a conference cycle, created in collaboration with Diane DRUBAY, emerge on this occasion.
25 years of existence
After the success of the 2019’s edition during which 340 exhibitors and 4288 visitors gathered on a 6500m2 site, Museum Connections celebrates its 25th anniversary and reinforces its role as the “International place for museums and cultural sites’ equipment and enhancement” with two main areas: MuseumTech and MuseumShop.
