Taiwan Quick Take: Museum conference to open

An international conference on museum management will be held in Taipei from today through Saturday. The International Committee on Management's (INTERCOM) annual meeting and the International Council of Museums' (ICOM) conference will be held at the Taipei International Convention Center. "The importance of Taiwan hosting the event has been underestimated because Taiwan is not even an ICOM member," Council of Cultural Affairs Vice Chairman Wu Chin-fa (吳錦發) told a press conference. Wu said this was only the second time that an Asian country has hosted the annual meeting.
