Abstract
The issue of museum deaccessioning is addressed, including who should deaccession and why and how is it done. The well being of individual objects as well as the collection at large is a major consideration, followed by the generation of funds and response to scientific educational or exhibition needs. Professional responsibilities are stressed.
