Worldwide Database of University Museums and Collections
Worldwide Database of University Museums and Collections
The Worldwide Database of University Museums and Collections is a project developed in 2001 by UMAC, the International Committee for University Museums and Collections of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), under the coordination of Dr. Cornelia Weber, Coordination Centre for Scientific University Collections in Germany.
It results from the recognition that universities and, more
generally, higher education institutions, have museums, collections and
cultural heritage of scientific, artistic and historical significance,
yet many remain poorly known by their communities and the general
public.

Relaunch
In 2016-2017, the Worldwide Database of University Museums and
Collections went through considerable redevelopment aimed at introducing
a new design, new functionalities and a more user-friendly interface.
In April 2017, it was relaunched.
