The online platform MUSCON Sherp is a non-profit initiative of the Vitra Design Museum in cooperation with the Museum of Design Zurich, the Netherlands Architecture Institute Rotterdam and the V&A London.

MUSCON Sherp was created to provide a simple way for museums to offer their own exhibitions and conduct targeted searches for travelling exhibitions.

We hope that this project improves cooperation and coordination in the area of travelling exhibitions and helps make the associated costs and services more transparent. On the other hand, such a coalition will operate much more successfully than individual museums acting alone, and we look forward to expanding the number of internationally participating museums.

MUSCON Sherp is exclusively available for museums and freelance curators.

The idea of MUSCON Sherp accrued during the Museums Network Conferences called MUSCON:

Starting as a Short term/emergency exhibition replacement program it developed quickly into a more comprehensive project.
