In his presentation, Dr. Garthe will discuss the following key points:

• What does cultural sustainability mean for the museum and exhibition sector?
• How can the contribution of exhibitions to cultural sustainability be improved?
• Which concrete instruments for implementation are expedient?

The talk will go beyond focusing on purely cultural sustainability and how to communicate it but will outline the comprehensive picture of a sustainable museum of the future. Before this background, it will discuss the impact of museums on a societal transformation towards a culture of sustainability.
