The theme of the CIMCIM conference will be Musical Instruments on Display : Mounting, Security, Labelling. The trend towards the museum as an adventure park, mass tourism and the cut backs for security personnel needs reflection on the mounting and labelling of the objects. Discussions and exchange of experience on these topics can help museum workers finding satisfying solutions.
