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.
