This paper examines, on the one hand, museum ethics as a set of behavioural principles, and on the other, morals as individual values of right and wrong. It suggests a juxtaposition of the two concepts (ethics and morality) and looks at the conflicts that are increasingly being set up between the two when ethical precepts border on moral deeds and transform into issues of conscience. In other words, it treats ethics and morals as two different dimensions whereby ethics are seen to have parameters that are firmly prescribed and those of moral behaviour being variable and subject to change, thus reaching outside and beyond ethical precepts. To underscore this position, several narratives illustrating some of the problems facing museums today are presented, and primary issues that currently and that will continue to afflict museums in respect of ethics are discussed. Museums as science, as steward, and as societal advocate and the conflicts between these various roles are advanced with a view to laying the groundwork for new trends in the development of museum ethics in the 21st century.
