The conference ‘Study Collections: a Challenging Context for Museums and Universities’ is held at University of Antwerp on Thursday 29th September 2016.

MoMu – Fashion Museum Antwerp and the University of Antwerp discuss in the conference ‘Study Collections: a Challenging Context for Museums and Universities’ the results, questions, challenges that have both faced pursuing the project of creating a free usable study collection. Exploring questions such as ‘what is a study collection?’ and ‘how does an object of the study collection relate to an object from the permanent?’ the conference analyses cases of this project ongoing since October 2014.
