Those of you interested in how to dispose of unwanted museum objects, I read this creative, purposeful and probably profitable approach to post-deaccessioning, passed on to me by Brian Durrans of the British Museum.

I also understand that UCL Museums and Collections intends to hold a temporary exhibition on the theme of disposal at UCL in October 2009. It is the result of a two year survey of the entire collections held across various sites at the university. More later.
