We are pleased to welcome Francesca Benini to CIMAM!

“I believe that being part of a global museum network can deepen my understanding of how a museum can serve as a significant component of our society. I am thrilled to learn about experiences and reflections of other professionals, because I am convinced that exchange is always a source of growth.”

"I also hope that being part of the CIMAM community will mean making new contacts and generating new collaborations. I believe in synergy between institutions among other reasons also as a matter of sustainability".
