The Community Muse Board (CMB) is a key participatory body within the EuroMuse project, designed to connect museums with diverse audiences and ensure that visitors’ needs, perspectives, and experiences shape the development of innovative museum practices.

Bringing together museum professionals, educators, artists, researchers, cultural practitioners, and representatives of local communities, the CMB serves as an inclusive platform for dialogue, collaboration, and co-creation.

EUROMUSE is a Creative Europe Cooperation Project

The Community Muse Board plays a central role in fostering a more open, accessible, and audience-informed museum environment. Its mission is to:

• Provide insights and feedback on visitor experience and public needs
• Support the development of inclusive, sound-based interpretive strategies
• Contribute to the design and evaluation of synomusic and its impact on museum audiences
• Strengthen the relationship between museums and local communities
• Promote participatory museum practices and intercultural exchange
• Ensure that the project’s outputs reflect real user experiences and societal needs
