German Museums Unite for Ethical Handling of Colonial Artefacts
Directors of ethnological museums across German-speaking regions, including the Municipal Museum of Brunswick, have united to publish a joint declaration on ethical museum practices. The 'Zürich Erklärung 2024' centers on provenance history and objects carrying colonial historical burdens.
The declaration, titled the 'Zürich Declaration 2024', is available online for public perusal. It aims to guide museums in handling objects with complex historical backgrounds, particularly those acquired during colonial times. The document does not specify its authors, as the search results did not provide this information.
The declaration is a significant step towards acknowledging and addressing the ethical challenges museums face in displaying and interpreting such artefacts. It is expected to influence museum practices across the region.
The 'Zürich Erklärung 2024' serves as a crucial guideline for ethnological museums in the German-speaking area. It encourages a more responsible and ethical approach to handling objects with colonial historical burdens, promoting transparency and accountability in museum work.
