Dear INTERCOM colleagues

It gives me great pleasure to invite you to the international book
launch of ‘Museums and Public Value: creating sustainable futures’ on
Tuesday, 13th August at 12:30 p.m.. The launch will be held in the
Museum Trade Fair Amphitheater at the ICOM Rio 2013 Triennial.

The theme of the conference, Museums (memory +creativity)= social
change establishes a vision for the work of museums. ‘Museums and
Public Value’ provides a structural approach to achieve this vision.

The concept editor, Carol Scott, invited distinguished museum
professionals, academics and thinkers from the UK, US, NZ and Australia
to contribute to the book. From the UK, Sharon Heal (Museums
Association), David O’Brien (City University London), Joanne Orr
(Museums and Galleries Scotland) and David Spence, Tom Wareham and
Annette Day (Museum of London) with Caroline Bressy (UCL) and June
Bam-Hutchison (York and Kingston Universities) have taken the pulse on
policy issues and co-producing with the public.

American authors Ben Garcia (UCLA), Marsha Semmel (IMLS), Mark Weinberg
and Kate Leeman (University of Ohio), Randi Korn (Randi Korn
Associates) and Mary Ellen Munley (The Museum Group) address the roles
of intentional planning, evaluation, management and education in
creating public value. Mike Houlihan (Te Papa, New Zealand) describes
how value has informed every aspect of Te Papa’s planning path and Lisa
Conolly (ABS, Australia) explores how governments measure value.

I look forward to welcoming you next Tuesday in Rio.

With best wishes
Carol Scott
