14th Panhellenic Conference of Maritime Museums

PRESS RELEASE

The Hellenic Maritime Museum is organizing the 14th Panhellenic Conference of Maritime Museums, to be held on April 24 and 25, 2026, at the Museum’s premises in Marina Zeas, Piraeus.

The conference is held under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. Under the special theme “From Past to Present: Contemporary Museum Practices in the Presentation of Maritime Cultural Heritage,” the event places at its core the evolving role of maritime museums in the modern era and the need to redefine their relationship with the public.

The aim of the conference is to strengthen cooperation and networking among Greek maritime museums, as well as to promote the exchange of experience and best practices for the preservation and promotion of maritime heritage. Representatives of maritime museums, cultural organizations, and institutions from across Greece and abroad will participate in the proceedings.

The thematic focus will be explored during the first session by academics and museum professionals, addressing key issues such as digitization, the use of new technologies, and the enhancement of the visitor experience. Keynote speakers of this session include Mr. Paddy Rodgers, Director of the Royal Museums Greenwich, and Dr Captain Juan Escrigas Rodríguez, Director of the Museo Naval Madrid.

The second and third sessions are dedicated to Greek maritime museums, where presidents and directors of participating institutions will present their work and initiatives within the framework of a dynamic dialogue that fosters collaboration and extroversion among maritime museums.

The conference sessions will be open to the public, with the option to attend remotely via an online link.
