KÖME – Association of Cultural Heritage Managers is a community of people working in heritage-related fields in Hungary. The association was founded in 2012 by alumni of iASK – Institute of Advanced Studies Kőszeg who saw the need for independent, bottom-up platforms for cultural and natural heritage. KÖME was meant to play an active (plat)forming and path-breaking role in this endeavour.
Since its founding in 2012 the association has indeed broken new paths, launched professional discourses, developed own trainings and participated in many international projects while continuously enlarging and refreshing its membership. In all our works we are committed to bringing together heritage-related professions and contrasting knowledges and different points of view that are rarely communicating with each other. We are committed to strengthening the quality, the international dimensions and the regeneration potential of the Hungarian heritage field.
You will find KÖME members at many points of Hungary. Our membership represents a wide range of fields, including architecture, archeology, art history, nature protection and contemporary (performing) arts.
KÖME’s strength lies in collaboration and the embracing of differences.
Our motto is
HERITAGE TOGETHER!
