The Pitt Rivers Museum is delighted to be hosting the 2026 Museum Ethnographers Group (MEG) Conference. The conference is being organised as part of the Rethinking Relationships project, an Arts Council England funded project that works across four museums and with partners in Africa and the African diaspora to develop new museum practice. This year's conference theme is equitable collaboration and asks what does collaboration actually do, both inside museums and for the communities and individuals who choose to collaborate. What is collaboration able to do/undo?

MEG is a UK-based international collective and subject-specialist network made up of museum professionals, academics, researchers, students, artists, activists and individuals who care for and engage with global cultural collections. The Conference provides a platform for current and emerging research on global cultural heritage and fosters exchange in a supportive and collegiate environment.
