The Museums and Galleries History Group (MGHG) will host its second
international symposium at Newcastle University on September 7th-8th,
2006.
The MGHG is a non-profit organisation which provides a platform for
debate and contact among all those who seek to understand museums and
galleries from historical and theoretical perspectives - not just
academics but also practitioners. The interests represented are
wide-ranging, interdisciplinary and international, of practical
relevance. The Group also acts as a forum for considerations of the
place of museum history within academic discourse and its importance for
current museum practice.
The theme of the forthcoming symposium is "negotiating museum and
gallery history". This is a chance to review the nature, roles and
problems of museum and gallery history.
A summary of the Group and further details of the
symposium, including booking information (registration deadline:
Wednesday 30th August) are available on the website. Although non-members
of the Group are very welcome to register for and attend the symposium,
please do consider the advantages of becoming a member, including a reduced
rate symposium fee! Full details are available on the MGHG website:
