Museum Ethics
Course Description
Since 1999, the American Association of Museums has required museums to create an independent Code of Ethics prior to accreditation approval. Consequently, there is a growing body of literature regarding museum ethics that is fueling discussion and debate within the field. This course will broaden the ethics discussion beyond the museum boardroom to museum staff and students preparing to work in museums. As institutions that must build trust with their public constituency, museums need to clearly understand how good decisions are made and the repercussions of poorly made decisions. Ethical standards for museums will be explored across the wide rage of topics to which they should be applied.
