The 2025 edition of RO.ME – Museum Exhibition has Better together as its central theme. Museums, cultural places and destinations are going through a round of change. Social and cultural dynamics combined with the growing need to attract wider audiences, engage new generations, ensure inclusion and accessibility, and adopt more sustainable practices are intertwined with a progressive reduction in available economic resources. In this context, cultural institutions are called upon to rethink their strategies, practice innovation, including in terms of fundraising, and value collaboration as levers to effectively address current challenges.

The eighth edition of RO.ME – Museum Exhibition aims to offer a concrete opportunity for dialogue and discussion between professionals and practitioners. The focus will be on the importance of collaboration between institutions, between the public and private sectors, between sectors, the active participation of citizens and the adoption of innovative strategies, particularly digital transformation and fundraising, capable of strengthening organizational resilience, expanding cultural offerings and improving the public experience.

Better together emphasizes the value of working together: sharing ideas, tools and visions to face change with a spirit of openness and creativity. An opportunity to imagine the future of cultural venues, starting with collaboration and the will to renew their role in contemporary society.
