Abstract

Defining “museology” (also known as “heritology”) is as easy as describing any academic field – the minute you say something about it, someone sets out to prove you wrong. These fields are therefore most often defined by objects of scrutiny rather than methods of research. As the interests of museums vary from robotics and mathematics to music and sofas, the field of museology also covers all corners of human behaviour and doings, and does not need over-zealous surveillance of its boundaries.
