MWNF coordinates an international museum network - including museums from four continents - and sets up online collections focusing on topics such as Islamic art, Carpet Art or Glass art. In connection with specific projects we publish books and organize study tours. All is based on a database that was specifically designed for MWNF between 2004 and 2007 (mysql) and, which is maintained and updated continuously. The person who has designed and set up the database is still involved as supervisor. You would start with some updates to get familiar with the database and then collaborate in the development of new projects. Ideally you should take care also of development tasks (good php5 knowledge is necessary). Database diagrams and a database manual are available. Timing is flexible and we could adapt to your availability. Before we start we would request your résumé or CV and our cooperation would be based on a Volunteer Agreement.
More about MWNF in our mission statement, Organization profile and at www.museumwnf.org.
We look forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you in our team!

Mission Statement
Museum With No Frontiers (MWNF) builds bridges through knowledge and understanding. MWNF has 20 years of experience in "rewriting history" beyond narrow nationalist agendas and promoting a new, inclusive vision of history that highlights exchanges and cooperation between cultures in areas as diverse as archaeology, art and culture, economy and social life. Against the backdrop of contemporary global challenges and conflicts, MWNF projects demonstrate the far-reaching potential of cultural heritage in building intercultural bridges in the name of peace.
Description
Museum With No Frontiers (MWNF) was founded in 1994. Since the beginning, the idea was to overcome any kind of conventional 'border' and to create an exhibition space where well-known and unknown, small and large, secure and insecure, rich and poor could not only coexist but would complement each other, generating mutual benefit for all concerned.
The MWNF program is built around two main activities: the MWNF Virtual Museum including different thematic sections and the MWNF travel guides, focusing on little known aspects of cultural heritage.
MWNF is an independent non-profit organization, relying mainly on volunteer resources. The legal seat is established in Vienna, Austria.
The network set up by MWNF includes public and private Partners from all around the world.
