Museums, as institutions that serve society, cannot remain neutral in the face of the conflicts and humanitarian crises that shake the world today. This year's Meeting of the Barcelona Local Museums Network aimed to address how we can act in the face of conflict and its consequences, in terms of heritage protection, social and humanitarian action initiatives, and the work of reparation, memory and peace education.
