500 _aAmuseum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment. Museums are mission-driven organizations and a cornerstone of civil society. Museums play an important role in the preservation of history. Museum studies, also called museology are the study of the design. organization and management of museums. Degree programs can help students gain an understanding of all facets of the museum business, from organization and administration to the acquisition, care and conservancy of historic artifacts and works of art. The latest movements in museology tend to focus on museums being interdisciplinary, multi-vocal, accessible, and open to criticism. While these critical discourses dominate contemporary museology, there are many different kinds of museums that exist today, some of which are engaged in new and innovative practices, and others that are more traditional and less critical. This book will be of interest to museum and heritage professionals and academics and senior students in Museum Studies.
