De Museumvereniging (MV; English: the Museum Association) is an association of museums in the Netherlands. Over five hundred museums are affiliated with the association.
History
In 1926, the Museumvereniging was established as a meeting of museum directors in the Netherlands. In 2003, the Museumkaart foundation was integrated into the MV organisation. In 2006, the Museumvereniging became an umbrella organisation for the Dutch museums organised into ten subject-specific areas. The Association of National Museums (VRM), for example, is included within the Museumvereniging umbrella. Irene Asscher-Vonk is the first president of the Museumvereniging.
Activities
De Museumvereniging focuses on advocacy and professional development of its members and promotes museum visits. It facilitates the Stichting Museumregister Nederland (English: the Dutch Museum Register), which facilitates recognition of the status of these museums. The MV also facilitates the Ethical Code Commission for Museums. Additionally, the MV is responsible for the Foundation of the Museumkaart. Approximately 400 of the 500 MV members are participants in the Museumkaart Foundation, meaning that they accept the Museumkaart. The MV also organises the Dutch Museumweekend.
