    Baltic Museology School 2004 Sunday June 27 Kremerata Baltica festival Participants were invited to a concert of Shostakovich and Shnittke given by Kremerata Baltica in the 18th century Turaida Church. Opening ceremony at Turaida Castle The Director, Janis Garjans, welcomed everyone. He introduced Dr Hans-Martin Hinz, Chair of ICOM Europe, who spoke of the great changes in Europe and the continuing need to reintegrate the former East and West. He stressed the role of museums in explaining our and others’ culture and in celebrating common values, and he wished everyone ‘days of inspiration’. The State Secretary at the Ministry of Culture, Daniels Pavluts, spoke of the special role of cultural heritage in a changing society, of society’s need to access both material and non- material heritage, and the need for innovation. He hoped the BMS would become an annual event. After a glass of wine, the presentation of Sigulda walking-sticks, and a group photograph, a buffet supper was offered at the Administration building of the Turaida Museum Reserve, hosted by Anna Jurkane. There followed a tour of Gutmanis Cave, Knights’ Stronghold and New Sigulda Castle, led by Ilga Korklisa. Monday June 28 Contributions from participants Each participant was invited to give a brief presentation on his or her museum, its strengths and achievements. These made clear what a rich variety of museums was represented, and how greatly they varied not only in size, subject and governance, but in their underlying purpose and emphasis. Moreover, the roles participants played within their museums also varied very much.
