Abstract
In 2021, ICOM Austria invited 17 Museums Austrianwide to contribute with specific activities and projects to the 17 SDGs. Due to the success of “17x17” the initiative continued in 2022 with 10 Museums from Vienna. The paper highlights insights on the working process, the methods, the challenges, the outcomes and the impact. Another initiative, the Museum Guide on Inclusion & Accessibility, showcases 130 Austrian Museums on what they offer to make their museums inclusive spaces. The project started as a printed guide in 2023 and will continue to grow with an extended edition in 2024 and as an online platform. Learnings from both initiatives should encourage and inspire others to take similar steps.
