Sammendrag

The article discusses the role of the legal framework in Denmark in
the development of Danish museums and identifies a shift in the administration
through a new museum act implemented in 2002 as a turning point through
the establishment of an agency under the Ministry of Culture. At the same time
museology was strengthened at the universities and since then research, education
and museum practices have been focusing on improving the role of museums for
visitors and for society.
