This article is concerned with some of the implications of the fact that Europe is so widely seen as a place replete with heritage, museums and memory, and also with the continuing expansion in numbers and types of heritage, museums and memory. It seeks to explore some of the ways in which heritage, in particular, is understood (including what it calls 'sticky heritage'), and especially the cultural and social work that it is often seen as able to do. To this end, the article reviews a number of trends in heritage developments, especially the diversification of what it calls 'Museum Europe' (e.g. in the establishment of museums or exhibitions about migration) and the kinds of citizenship that this mobilises. Some of the dilemmas as well as capacities of these developments are discussed. At the same time, the article reviews some of the directions in heritage research and the implications of this, and of 'Museum Europe' itself, for anthropology, ethnology and related disciplines.

Abstract The existing research on Tan Kah Kee’s museum practices focuses mainly on how he developed museums as an educational institute to modernize China. This paper re-examines his contributions to China’s museum development from a longitudinal perspective and by adopting a transnational view. By contextualizing Tan’s museum exercises in his life experience as a Chinese migrant in British Malaya and through analyzing the architecture design, collection and audiences of his museums, it conceptualizes the museums built by Tan as “diaspora museum,” defined as a heritage-making space constructed through the interactions between Chinese diasporas and the Chinese homeland, produced by and producing a de-territorialized vision of nation and identity. In addition, based on this case study it argues that overseas Chinese opened up an alternative route to transmitting museology to China. Instead of transferring museum directly from Western countries, they acquired a knowledge of museum through encounters with mediated Western modernity in colonial Southeast Asia and then transmitted it (indirectly) to China. Tan’s museum endeavors laid the foundation of a “diasporic heritage-building” tradition that has had a long-lasting impact on museum development in China today and among the overseas Chinese communities.

In 1998, the NSW Migration Heritage Centre was conceived by the NSW Government as a virtual heritage centre to help ageing former migrants tell their stories. Migration museums and other organisations interested in heritage are grappling with how to identify, record, preserve and interpret the heritage legacy of migration and settlement in their communities. The distinctions between museum and environmental heritage practices have diminished during the past decade in Australia. The Centre’s methodologies are based on historic method and thematic and typology studies, better known for their application to heritage place identification and archaeological artefact studies than for their more recent use by some Australian museum curators for the survey and documentation of collections and community participation in heritage. The ‘virtual museum’ has enabled the Centre to break away from the centralised museum concept, with the associated trappings of venue management, to pioneer a decentralised and dispersed museum model that works almost entirely in collaborative community history research partnerships to document culturally significant collections, and associated migration memories, held by communities and private individuals. The work is centralised on the Centre’s website as a virtual collection of objects, places and associated memories. They are presented in online exhibitions for student research and as a destination for the mass audiences of the worldwide web.

Museum as a basic platform for urban construction and cultural propaganda, its purpose is to let people understand the historical development context and the experience of historical figures, to provide collection, research, display integrated service system, is an important witness of historical development. With the continuous development of social economy and science and technology, while attaching great importance to spiritual pursuit, people will get more spiritual satisfaction from the museum platform. Especially in the background of the digital era, heritage museums pay more attention to providing people with high-quality and efficient cultural services while actively exploring new display modes. Therefore, how to apply digital display theory and technology? It has become a core subject for museums to explore actively in the new era. After understanding the content and requirements of site museum display design under the digital background, this paper mainly studies the design framework of digital site museum dynamic panoramic virtual display system, and then from the perspective of practical development, defines the digital display design content of site museum in the new era, in order to provide an effective basis for the construction and management of site museum in the new era.

The article discusses the issue of the “extended museum”, raising questions about how museums become active actors in current topical discussions on the shape of cities, what their role is in the processes of city management and how this engagement in external spaces affects the overall mission of museums. The point of reference is the ICOM Resolution on the responsibility of museums towards landscape adopted in 2016, which offered museums legitimacy in taking actions with regard to their environment, beyond museum walls. On the grounds of four case studies of Polish museums I present strategies whereby relations between the museum, authorities and communities are negotiated (regarding the protection of post-industrial and Second World War heritage, the contextualisation of socialist heritage and the struggle for greenery).

Abstract This article explores the complex role played by the staff of open-air museums in the Czech Republic, their relationship with the communities they work with, and their impact on the intangible cultural heritage outside the museum gates. It further explores the considerable role played by researchers active in policy making at open-air museums. The position of open-air museums is rather intricate from the perspective of communities and the state administration, with many different roles and tasks that allow and sometimes even encourage open-air museum employees to transform heritage rules or create new ones. Our conclusions are based on several case studies illustrating how the staff of Czech open-air museums build their relationships with communities, groups and individuals and how this collaboration effects the safeguarding of the intangible cultural heritage. Ethical issues related to museum interpretation and perceptions of interpreted elements by the public are also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The Catholic Church arrogates a long tradition of protecting and using heritage to complement its evangelisation ministry from the medieval ecclesiastical treasures included in museology proto-history. While these treasures have adopted museographic features, other typologies of ecclesiastical museums have appeared, demanding regulations that could orient their activities. After the Second Vatican Council, the Church became increasingly focused on guaranteeing a worthy destination for the objects left over from worship. In 2001, the Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church published the Circular Letter The pastoral function of ecclesiastical museums, establishing that the ecclesiastical museum is an adequate solution for these objects, keeping them close to the cultural group of origin and providing continuity to its original catechetical function. Two decades later, a critical analysis of the Letter is proposed in the theoretical frame of museum studies. Considering the recovery object’s original meaning in the museum discourse, the connection to territory, and the interaction with the plural and heterogeneous audience, the conformity of the Letter with the museum theory is underlined. With a focus on its general accuracy, the aim of this study is to evaluate how the Letter remains actualised and adapted to contemporaneity in addition to the challenges and transformations now faced by museums.

In the article, the authors consider issues related to the study of the virtual museum,the definition of the virtual museum is revealed, its varieties and characteristic features are highlighted. Current trends and promising directions for further development are outlined. The classification of virtual museums from the point of view of cultural studies is given.The Virtual Museum of the History of communication has always been relevant in modern society. Worldwide, the demand for a digital museum is growing. The collections of virtual museums are represented by various sources – written, graphic (including 3D), audio and video sources. Most virtual museums display original images of text sources, but not in a machine-readable format. This approach significantly narrows the search capabilities of virtual museum information systems (the source cannot be found by the system itself). Similar problems arise with audio and video sources, because they do not have their own description or it is too small, despite the apparent value in the study. Overcoming these problems will improve the quality of generated resources, increase their information return, and increase the use of CG in classical research and education.The classification of virtual museums from the point of view of cultural studies is given. Virtual museums are products of the computer industry that provide free mass access to cultural heritage. It is noted that virtual museums have a significant potential for the preservation of cultural heritage objects created today. Virtual museums are a new cultural form with its own features and promising functions. Despite the fact that they are developed in Western countries, in Kazakhstan they have not yet really appeared and have not been studied at the academic level.

The absence of extended discussions about the feasibility of carrying out qualitative research within the ‘research methods’ sections of most heritage and mainstream museum studies articles means there is not much direction provided to novice heritage and museum researchers as well as aspiring PhD candidates to augment their own methodological practices. Literature related to unexpected circumstances during fieldwork, the importance of human interactions in data collection and the self-reflection of researchers in heritage and museum-related research remains limited. This paper reflectively explores aspects of the author’s journey as a PhD researcher at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt, and the challenges encountered during fieldwork. The paper concludes that recognizing and encouraging reflexivity and interpersonal engagement and reflecting on challenging moments during the research process in museums and heritage sites brings insight to the study, and brings the researcher/researchee closer to the reader.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, Dominique Poulot provides a historical overview of the notion of intangible cultural heritage and its relationship to museum studies in France. He brings the study up to the present day to examine the current impact of intangible cultural heritage on the museums. Since 2006, when France signed the UNESCOConvention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, intangible cultural heritage has emerged as an issue of current concern. In the museum world, various institutional intermediaries are being used in order to educate curators about intangible heritage, by way of ICOM France, for example. At the same time, theMission du patrimoine ethnologique(Ethnological Heritage Mission, or MPE) has initiated a collective reflection concerning the new categories and new framework of activities for intangible cultural heritage issues only very recently considered “ethnological” in nature. Hence intangible heritage would seem to be on the agenda of various state administration bodies according to a top-down process characteristic of the centralized tradition of French museum and heritage organizations. The situation has apparently become even more propitious in this regard since a certain number of recent events have served to highlight the fact that the opposition between the notion of ever-changing social space dear to anthropologists and the enclosure of objects conserved at the museum dear to tangible-culture specialists has become a thing of the past.

The goal of this study was to investigate students’ views of the interactive Virtual Museum of Al Hassa Cultural Heritage. In this context, a study was carried out during the second semester of the 2014–2015 school year among sixth-grade elementary school students in Al Hassa, Saudi Arabia. After participating in an interactive virtual museum, 118 students answered a questionnaire after the teaching intervention. SPSS v.21 was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that students had a positive attitude toward the use of an interactive virtual museum in cultural heritage education. The results support the inclusion of cultural heritage in the social studies curricula in K–12 education in Saudi Arabia in order to raise awareness and knowledge of national heritage. The results also confirmed the views of experts regarding the importance and the value of virtual museums as a method for effective learning about cultural heritage.

Abstract This article presents three interdisciplinary and community-serving museum projects carried out by the Portuguese Judiciary Police Museum (Museu de Polícia Judiciária – MPJ), two of which are based on original ideas and unprecedented procedures. All three of them are ‘out of the walls’ crime prevention projects for the protection of Portuguese cultural heritage. The first project (starting in 1996) was dedicated to museums, the second (2003) to religious art in places of worship, and the third (2007) to the Portuguese unique and identitary Tile Heritage. The common genesis of the three projects is rooted on the one hand in two competencies of the Portuguese Judiciary Police (Polícia Judiciária, PJ) - crime prevention and crimes linked to cultural heritage – and on the other hand in museum concepts emerged in the last fifty years in museum studies - e. g. Declaration of Santiago do Chile 1972, ICOM Round Table; ‘Siena Charter’ ICOM Italy 2014; new museum definition ICOM Prag 2022. The three interdisciplinary projects – based on important partnerships from different academic areas and society sectors – are described in this article in terms of motives, implemented actions and results, and a final summary evaluation. Notwithstanding the severe financial conditions – all three projects had extremely small or even nonexistent budgets - and many not always surmountable obstacles, all three projects presented measurable positive results, and two of them received important national or international awards and were ‘exported’ to Brazil as models.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: This paper aims to investigate and assess the accessibility of Oman's private heritage house museums for individuals with mobility impairments. The study focuses on two case studies, namely Bait Al Zubair Museum and the Place and People Museum, to examine the level of inclusivity and the effectiveness of Omani legislation in addressing accessibility concerns. Method: The research is conducted through a comprehensive analysis of the two selected case studies. Three main areas are investigated: (a) the accessibility provided for individuals with mobility impairments, (b) the relevance of Omani legislation concerning accessibility, and (c) the extent to which these historic sites align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) regarding inclusivity. Results: The findings indicate that although Bait Al Zubair Museum has made efforts to accommodate individuals with mobility impairments in both its external and internal environment, there are still some challenges related to internal accessibility. On the other hand, the Place and People Museum faces significant obstacles both externally and internally, significantly impeding the enriching experience for visitors with mobility impairments. Furthermore, the study highlights that while existing Omani legislation emphasizes the rights of individuals with physical disabilities, it lacks specific legislative tools and policies dedicated to accessibility in museums and heritage sites. Conclusions: This paper emphasizes the importance of enhancing inclusivity in Oman's Private Heritage House Museums for Individuals with Mobility Impairments. To achieve this, implementing comprehensive accessibility policies and collaborating with disability organizations are recommended. Additionally, creating educational programs on disability awareness can promote public understanding and sensitivity. By prioritizing inclusivity and accessibility, these museums can enrich cultural experiences for all visitors, fostering a sense of belonging and social cohesion. Aligning with the UN SDGs, such measures contribute to sustainable development and cultural preservation, ensuring equal opportunities for all individuals to access and appreciate the country's cultural heritage.

Recent attention to the question of preservation and exhibition of video games in cultural institutions such as museums indicates that this media form is moving from being seen as contentious consumer object to cultural heritage. This empirical study examines two recent museum exhibitions of digital games: GameOn 2.0 at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm (TM), and Women in Game Development at the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment, Oakland (MADE). The aim is to explore how games are appropriated within such institutions, and thereby how they are configured as cultural heritage and exhibitable culture. The study uses actor-network theory in order to analyse heterogeneous actors working in conjunction in such processes, specifically focusing on translation of games and game culture as they are repositioned within museums. The study explores how games are selectively recruited at both institutions and thereby translated in order to fit exhibition networks, in both cases leading to a glossing over of contentious issues in games and game culture. In turn, this has led to a more palatable but less nuanced transformation of video games into cultural heritage. While translating video games into cultural heritage, the process of making games exhibitable lost track of games as culture by focusing on physical artefacts and interactive, playable fun. It also lost track of them as situated in our culture by skimming over or ignoring the current contentious nature of digital games, and finally, it lost track of games as being produced and experienced in a particular context, or games of culture.

The following plenary took place at the seminar ‘Reassembling the material: A research seminar on museums, fieldwork anthropology and indigenous agency’ held in November 2012 at Te Herenga Waka marae, Victoria University of Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. In the papers, indigenous scholars and museum professionals presented a mix of past legacies and contemporary initiatives which illustrated the evolving relations between Māori people, and museums and other cultural heritage institutions in New Zealand. Whereas most of the papers at this seminar, and the articles in this special issue, are focused on the history of ethnology, museums, and government, between about 1900 and 1940, this section brings the analysis up to the present day, and considers the legacy of the indigenous engagement with museums and fieldwork anthropology for contemporary museum practice. What do the findings, which show active and extensive indigenous engagements with museums and fieldwork, mean for indigenous museum professionals and communities today?

This article discusses the development of the Nias Heritage Museum and its existence as well as its role in Nias island tourism in 1995-2020. This research is a historical research through the stages of heuristics, verification/criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Sources were obtained through library research in the form of books and journals, document studies in the form of photographs of the Nias Heritage Museum collection, data on the number of visitors and data on the acquisition status of the Nias Heritage Museum collections, and the Decree of the Permit to Build Building by the Regent of Nias, as well as field studies by interview. and observation. This article shows that the Nias Heritage Museum since 1995 has collected various cultural products of the Nias people, such as artifacts, miniatures of the life of the nobles of the Nias tribe, megalith stones, statues, and jewelry of the nobles of the Nias tribe which later became an attraction for tourists. The function of the Nias Heritage Museum has been increasingly visible since its inauguration in 2008 as a medium of information, education, documentation, and a means of conserving the cultural heritage of the Nias people, either in the form of tangible heritage or intangible heritage. Until now the Nias Heritage Museum still exists in conserving cultural heritage and educating the public through tourism activities based on cultural history.

With the development of virtual reality and digital reconstruction technology, digital museums have been widely promoted in various cities. Digital museums offer new ways to display and disseminate cultural heritage. It allows remote users to autonomously browse displays in a physical museum environment in a digital space. It is also possible to reproduce the lost heritage through digital reconstruction and restoration, so as to digitally present tangible cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage to the public. However, the user’s experience of using digital museums has not been fully and deeply studied at present. In this study, the user’s experience evaluation data of digital museum are classified and processed, so as to analyze the user’s emotional trend towards the museum. Considering that the user’s evaluation data are unbalanced data, this study uses an unbalanced support vector machine (USVM) in the classification of user evaluation data. The main idea of this method is that the boundary of the support vector is continuously shifted to the majority class by repeatedly oversampling some support vectors until the real support vector samples are found. The experimental results show that the classification obtained by the used USVM has a good practical reference value. Based on the classification results of the evaluation data, the construction of the digital museum can be further guided and maintained, thereby improving the user experience satisfaction of the museum. This research will make an important contribution to the construction of the museum and the inheritance of culture.

AbstractSince the publication of the “restitution report” by Felwine Sarr and Bénédicte Savoy in November 2018, the debate around the restitution of African artifacts inherited from German colonialism in German museums has become increasingly intense. While the restitution debate in Germany is generally focused on “material cultural heritage” and human remains, this reflection attempts to contextualize the “immaterial heritage” (museum collections inventory data, photographs, movies, sound recordings, and digital archive documents) from German colonialism and plead for its consideration in this debate. It claims that the first step of restitution consists of German ethnological museums being transparent about their possessions of artifacts from colonial contexts, which means providing all available information about museum collections from colonial contexts and making them easily accessible to the people from the former German colonies.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the consequences of the heritage experience in brand museums on the consumer–brand relationship. By highlighting its heritage within a museum, the brand proposes a specific experience that deserves attention because it is based on memory and communal identity, thus creating or strengthening a relationship with consumers. Design/methodology/approach Ethnographic case studies were conducted through direct observation and extensive interviews with 72 visitors at two brand museums, the Fallot Mustard Mill and the House of the Laughing Cow. Findings The results highlight the emergence/strengthening of the relationship between consumers and the brand through the development of intimacy with the brand and the emergence of supportive behaviors toward the brand in the form of commercial support, ambassadorship and volunteering. Research limitations/implications By characterizing and articulating the different relational consequences of visiting a brand museum, this research contributes to the literature dedicated to heritage experiences in consumption contexts and to the literature dedicated to consumer–brand relationships in servicescapes. Practical implications The study shows the necessity of grounding “heritage” in the physical setting of the brand museum to create a meaningful experience for visitors and, in turn, a deep relationship. Managers should treat brand museums as a relational tool in the marketing strategy of the brand and approach them from the perspective of long-term profitability. Originality/value While the literature has examined the spectacular and esthetic experiences brand museums offer, this study is the first to characterize the heritage experience and to document its consequences in terms of the consumer–brand relationship.

Museums are scientific information service providers based on data and facts presented through collections as part of a scientific study. This study aims to analyses museum as a medium of non-formal education in instilling character to strengthen national identity. The study in this paper is classified as a descriptive-exploratory type of study. This study uses a literature review approach and data study through the internet network, combined with field studies by visiting the Bali Museum as a research locus where cultural heritage is stored. Data analyses divided into three stages, namely: data reduction, data presentation, concluding/verification. The study results show that museums are perceived as non-profit institutions that prioritize social goals, such as education. Museums as a place for cultural studies while having recreation can foster thinking skills in children. The eyes are the windows to the soul that can stimulate active, creative, critical, and innovative thinking, thus giving rise to intelligence in understanding the character values that lie behind a collection of cultural heritage to strengthen national identity. The Bali Museum is the pride of the Balinese people having a fundamental role in instilling character values in maintaining national identity and identity.

Museum Ethics was discussed in the USA already in the 1920s. The latest results of the “Ethics Working Group” for museums of natural science at the International Council of Museums (ICOM NATHIST) showed the necessity to create general binding principles for museums of any typology. One of the most important aims of museums worldwide is to getthe cultural und natural heritage over to people of all groups of our society. “Art and Commerce” as well as ethically positive examples of museum conceptions will be explained on examples.

The expansion and diversification of the museum space prompts researchers to return to the concept of «museum object», which is fundamental for all museum activities and theoretical museology. The interdisciplinary character of modern humanitarian knowledge gives way to the integration of the concepts of a museum object with new areas of material studies. These studies directly interact with museum practice and influence the construction of new museological theories. The dynamism of the new methodology of material research correlates with the performative nature of modern museum practices, therefore accentuating the mercurial relationship between material, intangible and digital heritage, the museum object itself and the museum collection. The developments and conceptual positions of material studies, transferred to museology, make it possible to substantiate the modes of soft musealization as a hybrid existence of an artifact in the museum and non-museum space, the legitimacy of creative research and interpretations of artifacts and collections, the relevance of their inclusion in museum practice. The considered methods can be fundamental not only for the fixation and representation of intangible heritage in the museum, but for creation and development of collections of digitized and digital heritage as well.

As the guardian of the nation’s cultural assets, the museum sector in Malaysia was caught unprepared when it experienced a 70 percent dip in the attendance of visitors during the pandemic due to its inability to capitalize on technology and reach out to local and international visitors. A key policy goal for every nation is to ensure that their rich cultural treasures are preserved for future generations to enjoy and be inspired by. In this regard, the virtualization of digitalized cultural assets has the potential to make heritage experienced in a new and unique way. Thus, the study’s primary objective is to assess the technology readiness level in Malaysian museums in adopting digital heritage technologies. However, this paper explicitly discusses the challenges and methods of virtualization in museums by reviewing available literature and case studies of museums with interactive technology to understand the current technology state of museums in Malaysia. Consequently, working terminologies related to digital heritage adoption by museums will be elaborated to define the scope and limitations of such studies. Most museums identified with Augmented Reality applications in Malaysia are still in an early stage of virtual technology adoption.

Abstract The article examines varied interpretations of food heritage in contemporary Estonia, relying on the authors’ experiences of a three-year research and development project at the Estonian National Museum (ENM). The study focuses on the museum researchers’ collaboration with different stakeholders, representing small entrepreneurs and the public and non-profit sectors. The authors tackle the partners’ expectations and outcomes of diverse cooperational initiatives and the opportunities and challenges of a contemporary museum as a public forum for discussions on cultural heritage. The project revealed that diverse, complementary, and contested food heritage interpretations exist side-by-side on the Estonian foodscape. Additionally, the project enabled the authors to become better aware of the researcher’s role in the heritagisation process and of the museum as a place for negotiating the meanings and values of food culture.

Abstract In this article I offer an in motu rhetorical analysis of museums in the Anthropocene. Instead of discussing curations inside museums in detail, I examine spatial and rhetorical dialogues between the Jinhuagong National Mine Park, a fifty-year-old coal mine, and the Yungang Grottoes, a Unesco cultural heritage site. Pulling together threads from Heidegger and Chinese environmental philosophies, I redefine museum as spatial action with three entangled lines of action: building, dwelling, and saying. Unlike in previous studies of museum as active space, museum in motu turns museum into museuming—a gerund indicating ongoing actions adapting to contingencies. Through museuming, human beings keep exploring the meaning of building in diverse practices of dwelling and adapting to relational existence with the more-than-human world.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of contemporary architecture in heritage protection, reinterpretation and reuse, an issue that has become increasingly relevant due to the recognition of architectural heritage as a key factor for cultural and economic development. Design/methodology/approach In Portugal, as elsewhere in Europe, cultural heritage management has often been associated with the creation of new museum spaces, namely, within national monuments and archaeological sites. Drawing on restoration theories and international charters, this paper analyses and compares two parallel interventions recently built inside São Jorge Castle, in Lisbon: the Museum Centre (Victor Mestre and Sofia Aleixo, 2007-2008) and the Archaeological Site (João Luís Carrilho da Graça, 2008-2010). This approach offers insight on the complexity of addressing and reconfiguring the profusion of past transformations within a single monument. Findings These two complementary museum spaces are representative of different attitudes towards heritage appropriation, substantiating the thesis that musealizing always entails the creation of narratives, which translate history and heritage into architectural and curatorial discourses. Besides meeting the functional requirements of specific museum programmes, such interventions frequently deal with the challenge of opening up new perspectives on the past. Originality/value Considering the central role of communication in contemporary museums, this paper discusses how heritage musealization can contribute to the translation of historical evidence into updated iconographies, narratives and dialogues. Furthermore, the unique characteristics of this twofold case study can provide an insightful contribution for a broader debate on the reinterpretation of iconic monuments and sites.

Ethnomuseology is an interdisciplinary concept that mainly incorporates the Museum Studies and Ethnography / Anthropology with varieties of ethnic arts / artifacts. Ethnographical Museums all over world are the result of specialized field of Ethnomuseography. Since the initial stage and even till today Socio-Cultural Anthropologists are playing significant role to enrich the field of Ethnomuseography and contributing to the development of ethnographical museums in India and abroad. The present paper discusses about ethnographic museums in relation to tribal heritage of India in the wave of modernization and globalization. Most of the Ethnographic collections or cultural heritages are still prevalent in the form of living traditions. But, many of them are gradually lost or vanishing with time in the changing scenario due to cultural change. It is high time to preserve it by ethnomuseographical means. An attempt has also been made to discuss the ways through which such ethnographic museums are growing in India and abroad. In case of ethnographic museums especially community museums and tribal museums; Action Museology deals with the various aspects of tribal cultural sustainability and act as a key explanation to preserve and propagate the tribal cultural heritage.

According to the Resolution no 1, adopted by the ICOM’s General Assembly in 2016, “Museums have a particular responsibility towards the landscape that surrounds them, urban or rural”. And thus, they should “manage buildings and sites of cultural landscape as ‘extended museums’, offering enhanced protection and accessibility to such heritage in closed relationship with communities”. This document arises from new museology thinking developed in the 1970s and 1980s. In the article we discuss this newly “codified”responsibility illustrated with an example of four Polish museums – Muzeum Śląskie in Katowice, Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanow, Muzeum Podgorza and Ethnographic Museum in Krakow –with intention to examine strategies and positions museums adopt, and contexts that determining those actions. We conclude that museums must play active parts in societies and take actions regarding changes in the landscape that surrounds them. However, the ICOM resolution is only a signpost, and broader recognition of museums as subjects of discussion on urban and rural space is required.

A recent revisit of the history of leprosy in East and Southeast Asia led to the establishment of museums of Hansen’s disease. Given that the history of leprosy has been a touchy subject due to its social stigma and complicated colonial past, these museums become spaces for the curious to comprehend memories of the forgotten past. In this article, we investigate contradictory purposes of reappraising the heritage value of the history of leprosy for present needs. Museum exhibitions in three colonial leprosaria in Malaysia, South Korea, and Taiwan are examined, specifically focusing on three areas of interpretation: the medical past in a post-colonial present, the difficult life of former patients, and the unsettled present. In contrast with the traditional museum as a place for the repository of glorious national identity, museums of Hansen’s disease offer diverse pathways to new museum culture created by activists, museum visitors, and officials.

Museums are memory institutions. They serve to collect, study, preserve and mediate to the public culturally valuable objects related to human beings and their living environment. They bolster the formation of social, communal and family identities; they function as public memory institutions, supporting education and scientific research and, of course, museums provide entertainment and recreation. In this article, we look at museums from the perspective of heritage studies, and for our analysis, we use the following three dimensions: heritage objects, levels of society and processes of heritage management. Our objective is to present a conceptual framework which would highlight more clearly the connections between heritage and museums and which would lay a foundation for interlinking some theoretical concepts from heritage studies and museology and help to improve practical heritage management. Museums and heritage are closely, if not inextricably, linked. A museum’s connection with heritage has always been one of the important features that defines it. At the same time, the relationships between various heritage institutions and their links with broader heritage paradigms have not been sufficiently researched. Since the second half of the 20th century, the number of objects and phenomena considered to be heritage has dramatically increased. Museums endeavor to keep pace with these changes, and thus more new museums are being established and the range of collection items is expanding. For a long time, discussions of museums encompassed only national-level museums. This is due to the fact that national museums are the oldest of such institutions to have emerged, and on the other hand, it is museums at the national level that have attained the most influential position in the heritage landscape. At the same time museologists have paid rather scant attention to museum institutions at other levels. Private museums and personal collections have not received sufficient museological consideration even though they form a significant amount of social heritage and are the most natural to people, and often the most important for them too. Likewise, community and local government memory institutions have only recently become of interest to museology, which is also the case even in the context of world heritage. All activities connected to heritage may be summed up with the term ’heritage management’. Heritage management incorporates principles and practices connected to the identification, preservation, documentation, interpretation and presentation of objects of historical, natural, scientific or other interest. The processes of heritage management can be grouped according to their focus: object-based, value-based and people-centered. These approaches do not follow a specific chronological order and are not necessarily exclusive of one another. Although they come in a certain chronological sequence, all the approaches are currently used depending on the context and purpose of the inquiry. These approaches reflect an increasingly more comprehensive and integrated treatment of heritage management. People-centered heritage management is a dynamic social process which necessarily includes diverse perspectives on the value of the heritage. Museums have made much better progress in producing multi-perspective views than heritage conservation has by comparison. One of the reasons is that the museum field is not as rigidly defined by law or regulated by bureaucracy as heritage conservation is. Heritage management consists of a continuous re-creation of the heritage, and here again, museums are the places where such re-creations characteristically occur. It is in museums that we continually place objects in new contexts and examine how that impacts people. Each exhibition is a new interpretation of the object, offering a treatment of it from a novel perspective. In fact the exact same process takes place with regard to all other heritage objects and phenomena, but perhaps within less controllable and observable contexts. A key issue for heritage management is the introduction of sustainable and more inclusive management methods. Museological theory and museum practice offer several examples here. People must be involved in the management of heritage at each stage, starting from the definition of what it precisely is and ending with its interpretation. It is important to develop and implement relevant practices. The idea of a participatory museum has made significant gains in this direction. People-centered heritage management entails, above all, the creation of future-oriented values and meanings. In a sense, the perspective must shift from the past to the future. Heritage is not a thing of the past, but of the future. It is a social and cultural resource that forms the basis for our plans for the future. We believe that this is the primary function of the heritage. Heritage management is the reinterpretation of contemporary social and cultural realities by using interpretations of the past selected for this purpose. Its objective is to change the present into a desirable future. Here it is important to take into account different types of heritage as well as different levels of society. Heritage stories must be like a symphony that incorporates all the participants from all of the different levels of society.

Navigating the intricacies of museum collection management within the structured confines of the Brazilian Army, this paper presents a unique yet compelling avenue for exploring the intersection of military discipline and cultural preservation. It delves into the intricacies of museum collection management within the structured and disciplined environment of the Brazilian Army, overseen by the Directorate of Historical and Cultural Heritage. Its primary objective is to shed light on the directorate's endeavours, including the challenges it faces in aligning with museological legislation and its pivotal role in curating the military museological collection. Both achievements and daily hurdles are examined in detail. Through a blend of bibliographical research and case studies, the paper was meticulously crafted, harnessing their synergy to yield comprehensive insights and facilitate robust discussions. The findings underscore the presence of proactive initiatives within the museum landscape, offering viable solutions to challenges encountered by various cultural institutions nationwide. It emphasises the importance of standardising methodologies and procedures, fostering collaboration among interdisciplinary professionals to disseminate operational tools effectively. These policies not only inform day-to-day practices but also provide valuable guidance for decision-making, serving as a crucial resource for professionals and students in the military museological cultural field and cultural managers nationwide, while also highlighting the Army's significant contribution to Brazil's cultural landscape. This analysis serves as a bridge to diverse audiences, seeking to narrow the gap between the institution and society, while reinforcing the notion that our national heritage is a collective treasure.

This work is the result of a study on the characteristics that define some of the museums created on the Silk Road. The approach to these museums has focused especially on the observation of the educational and heritage aspects that define these institutions. Since 1988, numerous actions related to the Silk Road have been promoted by UNESCO. This old trade route has now become a route of dialogue between cultures. Each museum studied is characterized by promoting local and national issues that define it. Educational issues stand out, since the tradition of silk production is very important in each place. Another aspect observed is that heritage issues manage to strengthen the characteristic features of each community. I have interviewed those responsible and personally observed their facilities and collections. Each museum has chosen to highlight local differential factors, enhancing the aesthetic arguments of cultural identity. Finally, I examine the specific case of the Valencia Silk Museum, the most recent creation museum but also the oldest institution. In the conclusions, I highlight the importance of education in most of these institutions.

In the 21<sup>st</sup> century, participation is one of the key words related to the operations of museums and debate around them. The public are encouraged to co-create museum projects: exhibitions, programmes that accompany exhibitions, studies; they play the role of consultants and advisors (youth councils, clubs, consultancy teams). Museums are more and more widely ‘opening’ to embrace the public. Never before has the position of visitors been as significant. An overview of participatory programmes in Polish museums is provided. They are classified and characterized by the Author who places them within the philosophy of museum operations, particularly with respect to the altering role of museums, currently debated over within ICOM, with the context of the new museum definition in mind; furthermore, she presents the initial conclusions drawn from the implementation of such projects for museums. In the paper the material from interviews conducted as part of the Atlas of Museum Participation Project implemented with a grant from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage has been used.

It is hoped that this writing would provide feedbacks to other similar initiatives which promote the appreciation of cultural heritage.2398-4279 © 2017 The Authors.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents the first study ever conducted on the profile of visitors to the Museum of Human Evolution of Burgos (Spain), which exhibits the finds of the Atapuerca archaeo-paleontological sites. The research was guided by the principles of public communication of science and the methodology of the studies on museum visitors. The analysis reveals a positive perception; the Museum is associated with the sites and they are valued as cultural heritage. Complaints are very limited but useful to produce a set of recommendations to further improve the exhibition. In addition, the findings are placed in the context of similar research carried out at other museums in Spain.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers L. Smith’s concept of critical studies of cultural heritage, which is relevant due to the emphasis on grassroots practices of commemoration and the analysis of the relationship between the reflection of museum visitors and the emotional component of their self-identification. In “Emotional Heritage: Engagement of Visitors to Museums and Cultural Heritage Sites” (2021) L. Smith traces the intertwining of affect, emotions and judgments both within the phenomenon of nostalgia and in the construction of cultural heritage in general. It is argued that her concept is particularly important in the context of the growth of antagonistic and conflictogenic memory politics in Eastern Europe, used by conservative forces to mobilize public opinion.

Full textAbstract:
In the small village of Kinnarumma in western Sweden an old wooden church was replaced by a new church buildning in the early twentieth century. The old church was de-sacralized by being moved to an open-air museum in Borås and used there for exhibitions and the storage of museum objects. The need for more church premises in the city led to the re-sacralization of the old church in 1930. The transition of Kinnarumma’s old wooden church to museum object, its museumification, was an expression of change in religious heritage, and its re-sacralization expressed an unchanged part of the same heritage.
