UNESCO is organizing the UNESCO Second High-Level Forum on Museums, sponsored by Zhizheng Art Museum in Shenzhen (China), on 23 and 24 September 2021. The event is entitled "Facing Post-Pandemic Challenges through Innovation and Inclusiveness" and will be held online (via ZOOM and YouTube).
As we face the challenges of a world radically altered by the impact of COVID-19, the UNESCO Second High-Level Forum on Museums is in line with UNESCO's ongoing efforts to support museums and will discuss the future of this vital sector.

— ensuring the future and sustainability of museum institutions,
— promoting inclusion and access to culture,
