ICR ANNUAL CONFERENCE 1999
The annual conference of ICR (ICOM's International committee for Regional
Museums) will take place in Greece 17 - 24 October.
The general theme of the conference is "Museum Accreditation", a topic of
great interest and relevance for many museums around the world. The broad
interest in these questions and the need for collegial exchange of ideas,
was obvious during our ICR sessions on the Triennial Conference in Australia
1998. We will bring a couple of very experienced people in the field of
museum accreditation to our conference in Greece.
Details of the conference are still to be worked out in cooperation with the
National Committee of ICOM-Greece. There could be some minor changes in the
broad program here presented. Our ambition is to arrange a conference with
an interesting mixture of speeches, papers, presentations, discussions and
excursions with relevance for all members of ICR.
