This UNESCO position paper for the Expert Meeting April 5-7 2004 gives a good overview on how UNESCO and ICOM envision the future roles of museums when it comes to safeguarding the intangible cultural heritage. It focuses on two questions:
1. How can museums contribute to safeguarding living heritage, especially on the level of local communities?
2. How can museums contribute to the visibility of forms of living heritage, in accordance with the aims of the UNESCO Convention 2003?
