This Web Community project aims at building a web community for the international network of migration institutions.

Migration museums are a recent phenomenon that in the last few years has been developing all over the world. These museums carry out an essential social and cultural mission, but their growth is still slowed by several museological, economic, political and social issues. Although, all over the world, the professionals of these museums operate in comparable settings and often cope with similar problems, there is currently little cooperation among them and solutions are still worked out in a disconnected and expensive way. Some international institutions, like UNESCO and IOM, are willing to help migration museums to build a network of knowledge exchange and mutual support. The growth of such a network has being hindered principally by the geographical dispersion and the language diversity of the potential members.
