Conference Topic: Museum For The Town, The Town For The Museum
Most museums are established and developed in towns. They are taken in as a
part of the town setting (surrounding) and part of the town's cultural
life.
The following topics will be discussed through various programs:
1.    The social character of museum in the modern town ? the protection of
historical evidences, the reflection of the actual problems and the
education of the society.
2.    The Old City as museum object, the investment of the museum at the
protection and development of the historical cultural environment.
3.    The museum as the face of a town.  Cooperation between the museum and
the local municipality.
4.    The contribution of the museum in the development of the town's
cultural life and creative activities of its inhabitants.
5.    The historical architectural values and the new features at the
modern city: new museum ? new chance (possibility).

Participants are invited to give papers on these topics as they relate to
recent developments in their own museums, or news of museums in their own
countries. Paper proposals should be submited to the contact person by
August 1.
