Join the Center for Art Law and AAMG for a program led by Steven Schindler, Schindler Cohen & Hochman LLP, Noor Kadhim, Fieldfisher and Atreya Mathur, Center for Art Law. This webinar will provide an essential overview of key legal considerations for museums, focusing on two critical areas:
Due Diligence Obligations: What are the responsibilities of museums in verifying the provenance and authenticity of their collections? This segment will explore the scope of due diligence for both permanent and temporary collections, routine checks, and the broader international guidelines, such as those provided by ICOM. Attendees will gain insights into how these obligations ensure museums uphold ethical standards and protect their reputations.
Copyright Law: Explore the principles of copyright and fair use and its relevance to museums. This section will delve into how copyright laws shape museum practices, from exhibition curation to commercial transactions and non-commercial uses. It will also cover the legal landscape surrounding reproductions, offering museums practical guidance on managing copyright challenges while maintaining their educational and cultural objectives. The webinar will also briefly address how artificial intelligence may intersect with such legal issues and influence museum practices.
This session is ideal for museum professionals, legal practitioners, and stakeholders interested in the intersection of art, law, and museum issues.
