CIMAM´S GENERAL ASSEMBLY ADOPTS PRINCIPLES ON CONDITIONS OF DEACCESSION FROM MUSEUM COLLECTIONS
Ethical codes must evolve in response to the evolving nature of standards and practices in museums and in society, and need to be periodically reviewed, discussed and updated.

In those instances where deaccession is deemed defensible or necessary, CIMAM’s General Assembly adopts the following set of principles for the conditions of deaccession, and urges the directors of member institutions to accept these principles as guidelines for their institutions.
