With strong involvement of experts from the Visegrad Group countries, the European Union has profoundly been dealing with the topic of collections mobility for two decades. Within the framework of this process, international conferences, publications and expert trainings have been conducted. The purpose of these were to define the legal and administrative obstacles for the mobility of the collections, to explore best practices and theoretical solutions in order to help European audience gain wider access to the diverse and extremely rich cultural heritage of Europe.
