Hello

I am a Masters Student in Museum Studies at Leicester University, England.  My
dissertation is seeking to explore the ethics of sponsorship in
museums.

I am interested to know if any museum or arts organisations out there
have formal codes when dealing with seeking and accepting
sponsorship?

Does your museum consider the reputation, nature of the sponsoring
companies behaviour in the environment, testing on animals (this type
of thing) when seeking /accepting their money?

What about the idea that museums/arts organisaztions are selling
their audience to the sponsor for the finance for an exhibition - is
this ethical.
