What definition do museums need?

On 10 March 2020, ICOM France invited representatives of national and international committees and regional alliances to attend a meeting in Paris. The meeting focused on the Museum Definition, currently under review by ICOM, and the cause of much debate at the Kyoto Assembly in 2019. The key subjects for debate were "Why a definition of museums by ICOM?" and "Code of ethics and common vision: what unites the members of ICOM?"

Chair, Dr Hugh Maguire, attended the meeting on behalf of ICOM Ireland and the proceedings have now been published and are available to download here.
