Regenerative Museums will save the people to save the planet!

The planet will save itself! It has a deep inner knowledge of how to regenerate life continually. We, the people, need to learn how to regenerate all forms of life, human and non-human. Museums are instrumental in reminding people about this ancestor’s knowledge of regenerating life and rebalancing the natural systems to restore the conditions conducive to life. This wisdom will save us and the planet, all together! Twelve museum professionals and regenerative designers have reflected on that in a pioneer research project that brings light to how regenerative thinking is the next paradigm “reshaping the museums´ role in addressing the social and environmental collapse”. Evidence, insights, and case studies from around the globe will tell the story of what regenerative museums are and how they can save lives on the planet!
