Research & Collections

In a resolutely decolonial perspective, we contribute to advancing the state of knowledge on a particular period, contemporary issue or cultural phenomenon by mobilizing the MEG collection.

The MEG’s 2030 Strategy encourages an interdisciplinary approach to research and clearly affirms the museum’s commitment to the well-being of both human and non-human societies.

The MEG’s 2030 Strategy is structured around four pillars, aligned with the principles of corporate social responsibility.

  • The first pillar aims to make the MEG more inclusive and sustainable.
  • The second pillar focuses on reducing environmental impact.
  • The third pillar emphasizes co-creation with audiences and partners.
  • The fourth pillar seeks to enhance quality of life at work.
