The Fund and the Ministry of
Culture of Romania
invite you to the Fourth
Annual Regional
Museum Conference
October 19-23, 2008
George Enescu National Museum
of Art, Bucharest
The
conference, Turning Museums Into Community Assets: Some Roadmaps, will
focus on how to make a museum more interesting and accessible
to its various publics. By doing so, museums will be able to
attract tourism, shape education, and help build a more cohesive society;
its assets will increasingly represent cultural capital for its
community. The conference will also emphasize the tools and support
essential for achieving this by presenting roadmaps toward this goal.
The Faculty will be led by
Ralph Appelbaum, Principal of internationally acclaimed design firm Ralph
Appelbaum Associates, and Marc Pachter, Former Director of the National
Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution and a Senior Advisor to
The Fund. Mark O'Neill, Head of Arts and Museums for Glasgow City
Council in Scotland, and Jem Frazer, Project Director of the capital
project to refurbish the Royal Museum in Edinburgh, Scotlandwill also
lead sessions and lend their expertise to the conference.
In-country
transportation, meals, and hotel expenses will be paid for by the
Romanian Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
Inquiries
regarding this conference should be addressed to Alise Vasile at the
Romanian Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs. She can be
