  ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums 2004
A museum is a non-profit making permanent institution in the service of society and of its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, education and enjoyment, the tangible and intangible evidence of people and their environment.
Museum personnel, the governing body, or their families or close associates, should not be permitted to purchase objects that have been deaccessioned from a collection for which they are responsible.
The museum should establish and apply policies to ensure that their collections (both permanent and temporary) and associated information, properly recorded, are available for current usage and will be passed on to future generations in as good and safe a condition as practicable, having regard to current knowledge and resources.

 International Council of Museums (ICOM): SWOT Analysis
ICOM is a global organisation in a global age, within which museums need to search for ways to find common ground between different regions, countries, systems and types of museum, and ICOM provides opportunities for this.
ICOM appears to have lost contact almost completely with the directors of the world's largest and most important museum institutions, and to a considerable extent with the more senior staff of large international museums more generally, at least in terms of their active participation in ICOM's work (e.g.
