Deaccessioning in Malta
No specific legislation or guidelines on deaccessioning and disposal have been found
However, a Mathese museum professional told that in Malt it is not allowed to carry out deaccessioning once we assign a unique number to the artifact, making it part of the national collection. Only in extreme cases of toxic/hazardous materials or sensitive cases of restitution would deaccessioning be considered.
