Hyundai Motor Company today opened the FIFA Museum in Doha, Qatar. Sport tourism can be defined simply as travel to a destination to experience sport. It is leisure-based tourism that takes people temporarily outside their home environment to participate in or watch physical activities or venerate attractions associated with physical activities (Gibson, 1998). Sport is unifying. It evokes many emotions in people. Therefore, it has always been able to maintain its importance. Sport in general, and major sport events in particular, have a special role to play in supporting sustainability. Building venues and infrastructure, gathering hundreds of thousands of people from all corners of the globe, accommodating and feeding them has an inherent environmental impact. Whilst the footprint is hard to determine quantitatively over an extended period of time, according to official figures, the FIFA World Cups in South Africa in 2010 and Brazil in 2014 generated close to 2.8 millions tons of CO2e...

Climate activists cannot predict how fragile the artworks in museums are despite all Preventive Conservation precautions. Really? In our article titled "Museums Question The Future" published on October 31, we wrote: "While climate activists continue their actions in museums, will there be new regulations in the museum's internal policies, for example, will there be additional measures or changes to the works Is it possible for the stakeholders of the museum to add a new security system or technology in addition to the existing security models? Questions questions... These questions and many more are the main subject of many museums right now."   Attacks in Museums via Map View @artandtownmag And... there came the news that a statement was published from the museum leaders.

We talked, discussed and thought about the future of museums with Future Educators: Museums of the Future -  European Union - European Year of Youth  (EY2022). While robots have started to work as museum professionals in museums ( Ameca, Museum of the Future ), can museum educators (K-12 Educators) become robots in cooperation with museums and schools, perhaps in a shorter time a few years from now? Robots that can appeal to all age groups and lead them to think… Can robots and AI (artificial intelligence) replace the current educators and museum staff? How do the school groups and parents react about this situation?  European Union, European Year of Youth 2022, Museums of the Future, Speaker: Destina Hande Cil As Art&Town, we have been involved in a conference series: 'Museums of the Future' within the scope of the European Year of Youth at Yildiz Technical University these days -with pleasure-, while we are working on ARTT LAB ( @artt____researchlab ) .

Museums are thinking about the future . They think together with all scenarios and all thought patterns . Museums are thinking, looking for solutions, discussing and researching.   Museums have many responsibilities, so it is somewhat impossible to fit into a definition. Especially, it is very thought-provoking to define and frame the museums of the future : For example, will museums physically host visitors or will they be needed? What percent of museum professionals will work as human and what percent as robots? Will every museum be able to prepare themselves for virtual reality environments? Will each museum be able to present new technologies to its visitors? Will they be able to align their mission and vision, even before their collection? What do we understand by sustainable museum architecture and a sustainable museum? Do museum laboratories actually transform themselves while preparing humanity for the future? While climate activists continue their actions in museums, wil...
