The European network UNIVERSEUM for the celebration of #AcademicHeritageDay2020 has invited all the museums of the network and their staff, to “dig” into their collections and discover objects of trauma and hope, distancing and connection, objects that relate to global health crisis and to human inventiveness to combat hazards and crises. These themes can be interpreted in the broadest sense to make connections with the collections in the University museums.
