On May 26, at 10:00 a.m., in Room 1 of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, another lecture will be held as part of the seminar “Art and Diplomacy: Setting the Framework”: “The Art Museum Today: Collections, Communal Forums and Contested Spaces”, which will explore the contemporary responsibilities of museums and how they might navigate these competing expectations while balancing different roles: as sanctuaries for reflection and psychic sustenance, hubs for collective cultural exchange, and platforms for socio-political protest.

This lecture will feature Adam Weinberg, Director Emeritus of the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Xavier Salomon, Director of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, and will be moderated by Randi Charno Levine, former U.S. Ambassador to Portugal and Honorary Professor of Art and Diplomacy at UCP.
