International Museum Day. Museums for equality: diversity and inclusion.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and, endowed with reason and conscience, should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948)

Human beings are equal but also very diverse: different backgrounds, ethnicity, gender, language, beliefs, culture… It seems that this diversity has often separated and set us against each other instead of being a source of richness and mutual understanding.

The pieces in the Museum are an expression of different eras and cultures. We invite you to discover in these videos some aspects related to diversity in some of them. History can thus be a starting point for reflecting on these same issues in our present.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and, endowed with reason and conscience, should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948) Human beings are equal but also very diverse: different backgrounds, ethnicity, gender, language, beliefs, culture... It seems that this diversity has often separated and set us against each other instead of being a source of richness and mutual understanding. The pieces in the Museum are an expression of different eras and cultures. We invite you to discover in these videos some aspects related to diversity in some of them. History can thus be a starting point for reflecting on these same issues in our present.
