Produktbeschreibung

This volume is a clear and practical guide to the difficult ethical questions museums work entails. Promoting the value of ethical theory and practice in museums, Edson tackles a number of key questions and also corrects some of the prevailing misconceptions about museum ethics, such as the difference between social morals and professional ethics as they relate to the museum context. Using example-driven arguments which incorporate varied case studies from around the world, Museum Ethics in Practice is an excellent resource for Museum Studies students and professionals currently working in museums.
