Collection Development
Collection management is one of the basic functions of the museum. From a museological perspective, it is important to optimise the collection according to the mission statement of the museum. Collection management, therefore, should aim at collection development. This encompasses acquisition and collecting policy, but also de-accessioning (restitution, repatriation), conservation, restoration and information management. The present interest is to develop an integrative perspective on collection management.
