Culture Connect and Teo announce the Cultural Dialogue Survey 2025 on the future of touring exhibitions, inviting members of the touring exhibitions community to contribute their thoughts and vision of touring in the third edition of the international survey.

We are delighted to announce our new Cultural Dialogue Survey in collaboration with Culture Connect.

Following the past 2 editions of the international survey on the future of touring exhibitions, Culture Connect and Teo are joining forces again, calling for members of the touring exhibitions community to share their view on international touring in a new edition of the survey: “The Future of Touring Exhibitions – Cultural Dialogue Survey 2025”.

This survey is an inclusive initiative open to all professionals involved in the hosting, touring, production and promotion of cultural exhibitions worldwide at museums, galleries, science centres, exhibition venues, heritage venues, libraries, archives, and gardens.

The first two editions explored the impact of major contemporary crises and revealed key trends, questioning the power of the object in exhibitions, unveiling tested sustainability practices, and highlighting the resilience and optimism of the sector.

As our context of globalisation continues to be put into question, the survey series is designed to map the appetite for cultural dialogue through touring exhibitions, to collectively build an understanding of important future trends and open a dialogue for thinking about and planning for the future of touring exhibitions. Four years on from the first survey, what long-term trends have emerged, and what challenges are expected for the future?

We invite you to share your view on the future of travelling exhibitions:

The survey is now open and closes on 10 February 2025. The results will be presented by Culture Connect in a report which will be unveiled at the Teo Live event hosted online by Teo on 15 May 2025.
