ICOM News
vol. 59 (2), 2006

  This number of the Newsletter of the International Council of Museums focuses on intellectual property. It is the first of a three-part reflection on how ownership issues affect museums and the way museum professionals work. Articles provide a definition of intellectual property as it relates to museums, present a WIPO documentation project to map intangible heritage holdings in the world's museums and highlight the need to approach intellectual property in museums in a way that accounts for cultural diversity.

The section Museums of the World presents a selection of food museums, and the remaining sections inform, as usual, on activities of ICOM and its committees.

A French version is also available.
