Abstract:The National Policy on Museum Development (2004) in Botswana, produced by the National Museum, recently renamed the Botswana Museum, has been approved by both the Cabinet and, without debate, by the National Assembly. Yet this is a policy document which cannot be implemented because it is fatally flawed. The author outlines the situation of museums in Botswana and the background to the policy document before discussing several of its paragraphs: preamble; terminology; rationale for the new policy; collections, research and communications; organizational framework; the Board of Trustees; the National Museum Service Division; Regional Museums and Art Galleries Division: Monuments and Sites Division; Communications and Technical Support Service Division; Office of Finance and Administration; costs.
