Our online Training school “How can archaeological museums work in the time of COVID?” is starting today
The COVID situation, making it difficult or impossible to visit museums in the physical environment, is a challenge for museum professionals and the members of different archaeology- related communities. Museums need new means for communicative work and reaching visitors – new ways to interact with museum collections. Our online training school is starting today and all lectures will be broadcast live on the COST ARKWORK Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CostArkwork
