Ignorance is no excuse: know where you stand

 

We live in a climate where museums are becoming increasingly accountable
for their operations. Understanding your responsibilities and actions
and knowing what to do is imperative. 

 

Do you have a leg to stand on? This is a forum not to be missed. Come,
listen and ask questions relating to your collections, and exhibition
development.  Experts will be addressing issues surrounding ethics,
censorship, copyright, insurance, contracts including HR, quarantine and
indigenous issues and protocols. Speakers include:

 

Bernice Murphy, President ICOM Ethics Committee, National Director,
Museums Australia  

Dr. Mark Williams, Lawyer JDR Legal 

Jennie Maloney, Permissions and Copyright, National Gallery of Victoria 

Phillip Batty, Senior Curator Anthropology (Central Australia)  

Mark Cleeve, Account Manager, General Government Program Victorian
Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA) 

Wayne Longmore, Collection Manager, Birds and Mammals, Museum Victoria

Fiona Moore, Acting Associate Registrar, National Gallery of Victoria 

 

This is an opportunity to meet and ask those burning questions. Do not
miss out. Seating is limited so book now!
