Asia-Europe Museum Networks (ASEMUS)
Overview
The Asia-Europe Museum Network (ASEMUS) fosters knowledge sharing and collaboration between museums and museum professionals from Asia and Europe. Established in 2000, ASEMUS is a flagship programme of ASEF with over 80 member institutions across the two regions.
The ASEMUS objectives are to:
- Facilitate the exchange of information between Asia and European museums;
- Promote the exchange of expertise between Asian and European Museum professionals; and
- Develop collaborative projects and more cooperation between museums in Asia and Europe.
ASEMUS initiated a series of meetings and workshops in various Asian and European museums to address different aspects of how these institutions could stimulate interest in and facilitate the sharing of their collections.
ASEF will support specific collaborative projects of the ASEMUS Action Plan (2011-14) such as the Mapping of Collections projects which arose from the 10th General Conference in Paris, France, in 2010.
Other key activities of the network that were supported by ASEF include the organisation of the ASEMUS general conferences and executive committee meetings and the ASEMUS website (www.asemus.museum).
The next ASEMUS General Conference will be held at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul (South Korea), 13-15 September 2012.
