Popis

The anthology New Definition of the Museum: Its Pros and Cons contains contributions and disputations by Czech and Slovak museologists on the topic of what a museum is or is not and what terms should be included in the new definition. The papers were presented at the conference of the same name, which preceded the ICOM General Conference in Prague in 2022. They are ten articles that are intended to help create a new definition to be discussed at the global conference. The authors operate with terms such as collections, sustainability, accessibility and inclusiveness and consider whether they appropriately describe what the museum really is.
