The world's only annual survey of awarded museum, heritage and conservation projects
For the upcoming "The Best in Heritage" 10th anniversary conference we are looking forward to learning about relevant new international projects. We wish to give them the opportunity to tell their story. A new or renewed project in the broad field of heritage is an enriching addition to any community, and increasingly relevant to many others due to tourism and the role in branding destinations.
Therefore, knowing of many new institutions, we invite them to present themselves this September (22-24) in Dubrovnik to our highly motivated and interested professional audience in a new segment of our programme named "New Projects". In the vibrant world of new heritage institutions we believe this will provide an initial advantage and make instant feedback and recognition from colleagues possible.
There are two new presentations from our 2010 conference available on The Best in Heritage YouTube Channel: Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre from United Kingdom and Zeeuws Museum from Netherlands. We hope you will enjoy them !
