Museums Tell Stories: From Collections to Books – ICOM-Malta 🇬🇧🇲🇹

Museums are more than places where objects are displayed; they are spaces where stories are researched, preserved and shared. Books remain one of the most powerful ways of bringing these stories beyond museum walls. This panel brings together museum professionals, authors and publishers to discuss how collections become publications, how research is transformed into engaging narratives, and how books help make Malta’s cultural heritage accessible to wider audiences. Through examples drawn from museum publications and heritage projects, speakers will explore the role of publishing in education, public engagement and the preservation of collective memory. The discussion will conclude with questions from the audience and curated networking.
