Encouraging Collections Mobility

Fülszöveg

Encouraging Collections Mobility - A Way Forward for Museums in Europe provides information about the history of collecting and suggests different ways to approach museum collections and collecting related activities. It proposes that museums should rather be encouraged to build collection strategies of the 21st century than repeating the old pattern that is based on the idea of eternal growth.
Whereas most of the articles provide a philosophical context for the collections and their use, the book also addresses the practical issues concerning collections mobility, such as immunity from seizure, insurances, non-insurances and state indemnities, long-term loans, loan fees, and digitisation. It is also pointed out that standards, trust, and good networking form the basis for all co-operation. The book pulls together current good practice in developing loans procedures and sets it out in a clear format.
