About

Museum3 is a not for profit organisation dedicated to exploring the future of the cultural institution sector.

Since it began in 2007 as a social network, Museum3 has grown to almost 3000 members from across the world. In 2010 Museum3 incorporated into a not-for-profit organisation. This has allowed us to plan for extended services including conferences, masterclasses, public talks, new partnerships and new cultural products including podcasts and vodcasts.

In 2011 we will be running our Transformations in Cultural Communication Conference in Melbourne, Australia. This conference brings together leading professionals and researchers to explore the next wave of social media in cultural organisations.
