ISS 25 (1995).pdf - The International Council of Museums

In order to attract the members of the community
and involve them emotionally in museum policies and
programmes, the modern museums must come out from there
palatial buildings and evolve various effective and out
reach programmes not only to preserve the cultural
objects housed inside the museum buildings but also to
preserve and protect the cultural and natural heritage
lying around within the geographical bounds of the
community. They must further assist the members of the
community in knowing their socio-cultural economic needs
to develop them with the help of their community museums
which will be working as a powerful tool for the
development of the community.
To involve people emotionally, the communi ty
museums must utilise the collective memory of the people
by reviveing the old legends, fairs and festivals,
traditional dances and music, age old arts and crafts to
keep the cultural heritage of the community alive. It is
necessary because it will provide continuity to the
development which will be receiving perennial inspiration
from the local soil and utilising modern means of science
and technology for an overall
community.
