International Symposium 2011 “CONNECT: Network of University Art Museums in Asia”

4 November 2011

The Japan Foundation will hold international symposium 2011 “CONNECT: Network of University Art Museums in Asia” on November 4th, Friday, 2011.

In recent years, moves by art universities in countries throughout Asia to establish art museums and exhibition spaces have become particularly pronounced. At this symposium, presentations will be given with the aim of delving into the history of university museums in each country as well as more recent activities and developments.

The objective is to consider the mission and significance of university art museums and what it is that makes them different to regular publicly funded art museums. Desirable models for the future of such museums and the potential for collaboration through networking will also be discussed.

From Australia, Max Delany, Director, Monash University Museum of Art will give a presentation at Session II 'Exhibitions: Progressiveness and Openness'.
