Museological Studies

Museological Studies is the academic field that examines the history, theory, and practice of museums. It explores how museums function as institutions that collect, preserve, interpret, and display cultural, historical, or scientific items for public education and enjoyment. The field addresses issues like curation, exhibit design, audience engagement, ethics, and the role of museums in society. It combines insights from history, anthropology, education, and management to improve how museums operate and serve communities. Ultimately, it aims to deepen understanding of museums’ cultural significance and enhance their capacity to foster knowledge and dialogue.
