Museum Conference 2012 – Europe’s big conference on social and digital media for Museums.
MuseumNext is Europe’s big conference on social and digital media within the museum

In 2012 MuseumNext will be held in Barcelona, in partnership with three of Spain’s leading
museums, Centre de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona (CCCB), Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) and Museu Picasso de Barcelona.
