Sammendrag

Museology and its field of research 

During an excursion to Swedish historical sites with friends from France the author observes how his companions had to transform their impressions into a verbal discourse with the aid of a printed guide before they were satisfied. Just taking a good look at the monument or contenting themselves with what they were told by their Swedish friend was not enough. In doing this the French guests confirmed in a striking way Foucault's statement that we are inscribed in the order of one of the discourses at our disposal and that we are subordinated the cultural heritage, the memories and experiences we carry along like an invisible museum. The Swedish scenery, monuments and objects did not communicate a meaning until they had been verbally translated into French.
