AvoinGLAM/zh
Avoin館聯(Avoin在芬蘭語中是「開放」)是在芬蘭開放知識（Open Knowledge Finland）主持下的一個工作小組，旨在促進文化遺產的開放存取。我們的目標是透過擴大文化遺產的模式、主題和從業員的範圍，並解決道德分享的問題，使館聯活動更具包容性、多樣性和公平性。有鑑於此，我們希望將館聯(畫館、圖書館、檔案館、與博物館)這個簡稱詮釋為全球的語言、藝術與記憶。
我們促進館聯從業者之間的創意协作和同儕學習。我們在維基媒體、創用CC、和開放知識的交叉點運作，提倡文化公地--跨越組織和領域界限的合作，以創造一個可互相操作、充滿活力和負責任的開放文化的生態系統。
Avoin館聯成立於2012年，並自2022年起獲得維基媒體基金會社群基金的支持。
