Museoliitto publishes proceedings of Museoetiikka 2.0

In early 2016 , Museoliitto – the Museums Association of Finland, published Museoetiikka 2.0, the proceedings of the Museum Ethics conference held in 2015 at the University of Jyväskylä, and organised by the Museology students of Jyväskylä in partnership with ICOM Finland.

The conference, which featured presentations in both Finnish and English, covered various ethical issues for that museum professionals may face. Lapland’s Dark Heritage Researcher Suzie Thomas gave a keynote presentation on international trafficking of cultural objects.

The resulting publication includes Thomas’ paper, entitled “International Trafficking of Cultural Property: Global and Local Perspectives“. The article draws on some of the data from the Lapland’s Dark Hertiage project.

The publication is open access and available via Museoliitto’s website.
