The Museums and Galleries History Group is pleased to announce the first issue of its biannual newsletter is now online at the MGHG website, www.mghg.org, containing news of projects, publications, research and events in the field of museum and gallery history.
The MGHG provides a platform for debate and contact among all those who seek to understand museums and galleries from historical and theoretical perspectives. The interests represented are wide-ranging, interdisciplinary and international and the group also acts as a forum for considerations of the place of museum history within academic discourse and its importance for current museum practice.
