ACAHUCH is pleased to announce their ninth annual symposium: “Keeping House: conserving, managing and interpreting house museums” on 6 November.
The symposium focuses on the fascinating world of house museums. Invited expert speakers drawn from academia, the museum and heritage sectors will tease out the significant contemporary issues and opportunities facing this unique genre of public / private cultural institution.
Through an array of Australian and international exemplars, several themed panels will explore innovative ways of interpreting the history, memories and stories that house museums harbour; challenges in conserving material fabric, house interiors and gardens; the maintenance of support, management and ownership; and house museums in the context of south-east Asia.
