The ICOFOM theme this year was The Predatory Museum, a theme which proved to be both provocative and challenging. The interesting results are presented here. 2 Given the time restraints of a meeting within the General Conference, and the number of good abstracts submitted, we decided for the first time to divide submissions into two categories: verbal presentations and poster presentations. Those who made verbal presentations were then asked to write up their ideas in a formal paper which, in turn, went to double blind peer review. Our evaluators were especially selective this year, such that from this process six papers were deemed both innovative and theoretical and are featured here. These papers were then edited, a process especially important for those authors who write in a language that is not their first. Other authors were invited to submit brief notes outlining their presentations, which were then integrated in a second category. Added to this category, are poster presentations, a new direction for ICOFOM, was unexpectedly popular. 3 We also included, in a third section, presentations on the theme of museology and the development of museums in Italy, a session that was especially interesting having been organized, during the symposium, by our colleague Christina Vannini. 4 A journal such as this one, consisting of numerous parts, requires dedicated work by many wonderful contributors, peer reviewers, secretaries, editors and proof readers. We could not produce this without these kind volunteers. Thank you all so very much.

Le thème d’ICOFOM, cette année, était « le musée prédateur », un thème qui s’est avéré à la fois provocateur et stimulant. Le résultat des communications est proposé ici. 2 Compte tenu des limites temporelles de nos réunions durant la Conférence générale, ainsi que le nombre de bons résumés qui nous avaient été soumis, nous avons décidé pour la première fois de diviser les propositions en deux catégories : les communications, suivies d’une session de présentation de posters. Les auteurs ayant donné une communication furent appelés à développer leurs idées dans un article qui fut transmis, à son tour, au système d’évaluation en double aveugle. Nos évaluateurs se sont montrés particulièrement sélectifs cette année, et nous avons abouti, à partir de ce processus, à une collection de six articles à la fois novateurs et théoriques, qui sont publiés dans ce numéro. Ces articles ont par la suite donné lieu à un processus d’édition, processus très important pour les auteurs n’écrivant pas dans leur langue maternelle. Les autres auteurs ont été invités à soumettre un article plus bref résumant leur présentation, afin d’intégrer la seconde catégorie, liée aux sessions par posters. Cette nouvelle initiative d’ICOFOM s’est révélée très populaire. Nous publions également, dans une troisième partie, les communications évoquant la muséologie et le développement des musées en Italie, une session particulièrement intéressante ayant été organisée, durant le symposium, par notre collègue Cristina Vannini. 3 Une revue telle que celle-ci, consistant en de nombreuses parties, requiert le travail de très nombreux contributeurs, évaluateurs, éditeurs et relecteurs. Nous n’aurions pu rendre public leur travail sans leur participation bénévole. Nous les remercions ici très sincèrement.

El tema del ICOFOM este año fue El museo depredador, un tema que resultó ser provocativo y desafiante. Se presentan aquí los interesantes resultados. 2 Dadas las limitaciones de tiempo de una reunión dentro de la Conferencia General y el gran número de buenos resúmenes presentados, decidimos por primera vez dividir las contribuciones en dos categorías: presentaciones verbales y presentaciones de poster. Se solicitó a aquellos que hicieron presentaciones verbales que escribieran sus ideas en un documento formal que, a su vez, pasó a una revisión por doble ciego. Nuestros evaluadores fueron especialmente selectivos este año, de tal manera que a partir de este proceso seis documentos se consideraron tanto innovadores como teóricos y se presentan aquí. Estos documentos fueron editados, un proceso especialmente importante para aquellos autores que escriben en un idioma que no es el suyo. Se invitó a otros autores a presentar notas breves destacando sus presentaciones, que fueron luego integradas en una segunda categoría. Agregado a esta categoría, son los posters, una nueva modalidad para ICOFOM, que fue inesperadamente popular. 3 También incluimos en una tercera sección presentaciones sobre la museología y el desarrollo de los museos en Italia, una sesión que fue especialmente interesante, organizada durante el simposio por nuestra colega Christina Vannini. 4 Una publicación como ésta, que consta de numerosas partes, requiere el trabajo dedicado de muchos maravillosos colaboradores, evaluadores, secretarios, editores y lectores de pruebas. No podríamos haberlo realizado sin esa clase de trabajo voluntario. Muchas gracias a todos.

To most, it is perceived as a place of exploration and learning through the display and interpretation of cultural objects or natural specimens and their accompanying didactic materials, a place where visitors can explore not only themselves and their place in the scheme of things, but also the worlds which exist and have meaning for them. Except for fleeting thoughts of how individuals respond to any museum visitation, whether being its entrance fee, the low lights in the exhibition areas, the print size on the labels and texts, the availability (or lack thereof) of a place to rest or eat, or some other visceral reaction whether real or imagined, the public’s perception of how the museum gained its near pristine reputation is virtually non-existent. The museum is accepted as a given without

THE FEATURED PROJECTS — ALL KEY WORKS BY RENOWNED ARCHITECTS — OFFER A PANORAMA OF INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM ARCHITECTURE AT THE OPENING OF THE 21ST CENTURY. Thanks to broad-based public support, MAM is currently in the initial planning phase of its own expansion with Museum Park, the City of Miami’s official urban redesign vision for Bicentennial Park. MAM’s expansion will provide Miami with a 21st-century art museum that will serve as a gathering place for cultural exchange, as well as an educational resource for the community, and a symbol of Miami’s role as a 21st-century city. In the last decade, Miami has quickly become known as the Gateway of the Americas. Despite this unique cultural and economic status, Miami remains the only major city in the United States without a world-class art museum.
