💡 Museums as Agents of Change: The Importance of Sharing Outstanding Practices 👉 Launched in 2021 during the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Outstanding Museum Practice Award (OMPA), presented by CIMAM International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art @cimam_museums, was initially conceived as an effective response from modern and contemporary art museums to a situation of crisis. At a time when museums were forced to re-evaluate their purposes and ways of operating, and to defend their contribution to society, the OMPA emerged with a clear intention: to recognise and elevate museum practices that embody ethical and sustainable values, those that prioritise cultural and social relevance, inclusion and care for communities.
