Museum techniques.0300Museology is concerned with artworks through institutionalized collections, always in accordance with the concepts and methods of the given field and its professional criteria. The field of museology includes the collections, research on the collections, and the public presentation of these research studies’ results, the mode of which changes with time and space. In the course of the history of modern, public museums, which were institutionalized in the 19th century, the most prominent turn was spawned when critical reflection was subsumed by the museum itself: when, form the 1960s on, critical reflections gradually have been incorporated into the collection and the representational mechanisms of the museum. In the theory and practice of cultural representation, a theoretical realignment can be detected from the 1960s on: the series of turns in social sciences and art theory appeared in scientific and art theoretical texts, as well as in works and visual genres. These shifts contributed in museological work to the critical/ self-critical, reflexive/ self-reflexive re-assessment of the authorial discourse of the museum collection that was based on the impermeability of scientific canons. This book presents up-to-date information about museums and museology. The book provides readers with carefully chosen examples of museum activities—for example, exhibition and sharing information, database construction, access to and conservation of museum collections, relationships between museums and local communities, and international cooperation in the field of cultural heritage. This book is highly recommended to readers who seek a global vision of museum studies.01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021500.00INRWORLD
