#musemsalon project was presented during Museum and the Web conference in Florence.
This project was started by the State Historical Museum (Moscow, Russia), follow us on Twitter @1stHistorical :)
The idea of the project is to bring together museum curators and the audience and discuss one particular topic.We usually do that session during the weekend in the evening, when most people are at home and ready to spend some time following the conversation.
Join our project and share your stories with the Russian audience!
