Lecture | Is There a Future for Museum Ethics?
In 1925 the American Association of Museums, the largest professional organization for museums in the US, adopted a “Code of Ethics for Museum Workers.” Since then the professional code has been rewritten and revised twice (most recently in 1991/2000) and now all museums that wish to be accredited must create and follow their own codes. Yet many museums have recently been in the public eye for what is perceived to be questionable or even unethical behavior.
Speaker Sally Yerkovich is Director of the Institute of Museum Ethics at Seton Hall University and lecturer on Ethical and Legal Issues in Museums as well as how museums relate to their communities.

The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

Park Walk | The Dark Side of the High Line Tour
The skeletal remains of the High Line’s elevated tracks set the perfect scene for a spooky evening. Join a journey to the creepier side of New York City’s most unique park. On this tour you’ll hear tales of the strange eccentric who lived below the tracks and saved them from demise, the curse of a West Side Cowboy who fell to his death from the elevated track, and the children who haunt the street formerly known as Death Avenue. If the moon hangs right perhaps you’ll witness the spectacle of a ghostly ship floating down the Hudson River; is it the long forgotten crew of Henry Hudson’s Half-Moon warning sailors not to go to sea? Or is it Captain Kidd protecting the treasure he buried on Liberty Island? Venture at your own risk through the dark side of High Line.
