The Australian Registrars Committee (ARC) 1999 Professional Development
Seminar - Legislation, Litigation and Lust: Museums and the law, will be
hosted by the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, from 12-13 August.
The theme of this two day conference gives recognition to the fact that an
embrangle of ownership theories, import/export policies, property laws and
international and national leglislation today surrounds the material
heritage of humankind. This conference will look at how such laws operate
within the framework of cultural institutions. Through an examination of
these issues museum, gallery and cultural workers will gain an incomparable
understanding of their roles, responsibilities and capacity to affect
events. The conference offers the most up-to-date information and analysis
from a range of professional, government, academic and industry
perspectives.
The first day of the conference will address issues related to the
international movement of cultural property, import/export regulations and
other legislation matters including the illegal trade in threatened and
endangered wildlife
The second day of the conference will investigate themes related to our
legal responsibilities. Contracts regarding exhibitions and loans will be
formally addressed. Attention will be drawn towards the main legislation
within museums as it affects the acquisition, disposal and repatriation of
collections. In addition, a special session will be devoted covering the
issue of firearms and dangerous artefacts held in museum collections.
