*ICOM Russia is pleased to launch the call for papers for the business
program of the International museum festival “Intermuseum 2016”*


International museum festival “Intermuseum 2016” will take place in Moscow,
Russia, from 13th till 16th of May 2016.


“Intermuseum” is a greatest museum event in Russia which is held annually

goal to highlight the role of the museum as an important instrument of
social inclusion and cohesion, symbolically named "Museum without Borders".


The Festival will bring together more than 300 museums of Russia and
foreign countries in the Manezh Central Exhibition Hall (Manezhnaya Square,
1, Moscow 125009). Traditionally, the structure of the "Intermuseum"
includes for parts: expositions of Russian and foreign museums; competitive

museums (ICOM Russia), the Union of Russian museums and other partner
organizations.



*MUSEUM WITHOUT BORDERS. SOCIAL MISSION OF THE MUSEUM IN THE CONTEXT OF
INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE*


Museum is one of the most accessible public institutions, which safeguards
and popularizes tangible and intangible cultural and natural heritage. By
preserving the past, museums strengthen cultural identities, support social
cohesion and serve as mediators in the sphere of intercultural
communication. Museums around the world cease to be conservative
institutions, designed solely to conserve heritage; nowadays individuals
with all their aspirations and needs are in the center of the museum’s
attention. The visitor is more involved in the museum activities, and
museum pays an increased attention to issues of sustainable development.
The museum becomes a socially responsible organization working with various
social groups. This new role of museums is emphasized in the UNESCO
“Recommendation Concerning the Protection and Promotion of Museums and
Collections, their Diversity and their Role in Society”. “Museums are vital
public spaces that should address all of society and can therefore play an
important role in the development of social ties and cohesion, building
citizenship, and reflecting on collective identities”[1] <#_ftn1>
