University, Brno, Tchech Republic. Conference language will English and German.

Meeting place is Evangelische Academy, Tutzing, directly at the lake. Tutzing
can be reached by suburban trains from Munich main station ending in Tutzing.

The IAM
The IAM will not only be an organisation of scientists, but also of all
interested in museology, of museum workers, volonteers, students in museology as
well as museology grounded firms. ICOM-membership is not needed.
IAM will not only develop and promote museological thinking as a useful science,
but also care for the vested interests of people interested in museology.
As Museology has deep roots in Germany, the seat of the IAM will be in Leipzig,
Germany.
The IAM will have an annual meeting and will organize conferences.
The IAM will have its own publishing organ, named WUNDERKAMMER. 1-2 issues a
year are included in the membership fee.
Three kinds of membership will be possible:
- persons with vested interests in museology (full members)
- students and members of the first group out of work (additional members)
- supporting firms.
