(Ebook) museology and its theory by Jan Dolak

Museology as a university discipline has been cultivated for almost sixty years.During that time, it has taken a great step forward, not least in quantitative terms.There are hundreds of university departments named museology or museumstudies all over the world. The book, magazine and internet output dealing withmuseology is enormous. However, we are witnessing a certain loosening upof the whole discipline. There is therefore a need to examine its theoretical basis,the terminology it uses and its research methods, to examine how and in whatdirection museology is developing and to subject its development to criticalanalysis. This book seeks to critically summarize the current trends in theoreticalresearch in the field of museology, including the latest trends, to take fromboth older and newer approaches that which is truly alive and to say goodbyeto development dead ends.
