For a look at Italian museology, see the online Nuova Museologia (in Italian, of course): http://www.nuovamuseologia.org. To give you an idea of this professional journal, it was founded, I believe (but check, if pertinent!), in part by Prof. Giovanni Pinna, who--until his recent retirement--was the director of Milan's Natural History Museum. He also was a co-founder of DEMHIST, ICOM's International Committee for Historic House Museums, as well as its first president, and now serves on ICOM's board. At the most recent ICOM-Italia meeting, just a few days ago, the possibility of ICOM-Italia acquiring the journal as its official organ was broached. best regards, Star Meyer home: [log in to unmask] work: [log in to unmask] http://www.museobagattivalsecchi.org Bagatti Valsecchi Museum - Milan, Italy ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
