Strengthening cooperation for a novel service blueprint in museums.

Sense Muse is a 12-month Erasmus+ Small-scale partnership in adult education, building shared capacity for accessible culture across four European countries.

Vision

Sense Muse enhances the role of museums as learning hubs by creating upskilling pathways for cultural professionals. Through a structured learning network and transnational knowledge exchange, we equip museums with the competences to promote lifelong learning, making cultural institutions more accessible, inclusive and responsive.

Target groups

• Museum professionals at institutions with a peripheral character — directors, curators, docents and educators with limited access to funding or training.
• Cultural institutions preserving European patrimony at the margins — geographically, institutionally or in visibility.
• Accessibility experts and organisations working with vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities — the indirect beneficiaries of every program we co-design.

Why funding matters

Approximately 85 million people in the EU live with a disability. Yet structured accessibility programs in small museums remain rare — fragmented, locally bound, and rarely shared across borders. Sense Muse replaces isolated effort with a common European framework that is coherent, scalable and adaptable: a model museums across the EU can adopt.
