What do you think about this?「これについてどう思う?」〜ICOM博物館の定義の見直し〜
ICOM(世界博物館会議)が、「博物館の定義」を見直そうとしています。
ICOM京都大会の臨時総会で、提案された博物館の定義の採択をする予定でしたが、色々な意見が出て、採決自体が延期されました。
「新しい」定義、とありますが、現在の定義はどのようなものなのでしょうか?
2007年にウィーンで採択された定義が、現在の定義です。
“A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment.”
そして、現在提案されている新たな博物館の定義案はこちらです
Museums are democratising, inclusive and polyphonic spaces for critical dialogue about the pasts and the futures. Acknowledging and addressing the conflicts and challenges of the present, they hold artefacts and specimens in trust for society, safeguard diverse memories for future generations and guarantee equal rights and equal access to heritage for all people. Museums are not for profit. They are participatory and transparent, and work in active partnership with and for diverse communities to collect, preserve, research, interpret, exhibit, and enhance understandings of the world, aiming to contribute to human dignity and social justice, global equality and planetary wellbeing.
さて、この訳をご覧になって、ご自身が関係されているミュージアムと、「遠いな」と思われたでしょうか?それとも、「そうそう、これがミュージアム」と納得されたでしょうか。
隣の人と5分間話してください。
なーんて・・・!(笑)
