How can institutions and disciplines collaborate to manage heritage data? How can the quality of these data and digitised collections be improved? And how can information sharing and reuse be facilitated?
On 18 November, KBR, the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, and the Royal Museums of Art and History will organise the international conference “Shared Heritage, Shared Data.” On this occasion, the partners of MetaBelgica and other European cultural heritage institutions will share their experiences and demonstrate how new technologies are helping to make collections more accessible.

The AfricaMuseum presents in the AFROPEA space Still the Rhythm, a solo exhibition by sculptor and
