Sammendrag

This article aims to give a status report on museum disposal in the Norwegian museum sector. Disposal (or deaccessioning, depending on choice of terms) is treated as a topic relevant to both the overall legitimation of museums as institutions, as well as an important topic for sustainable collection management. The article argues that a sound and intellectually solid approach to disposal is a potential key to the sustainability of the museums’ epistemology on the one hand and to sustainable collection development on the other. After an initial discussion on the theoretical, ethical and judicial basis of disposal and a presentation of international examples on disposal practice, the article presents the results from a survey on disposal among Norwegian museums.
