On the one hand, museology aims to support and develop professionalism in the museum field. On the other, its mission is to clarify the meaning of a significant cultural institution within the western worldview. The discipline of museology cooperates closely with various museums, making it a very practical field.
Museology studies museums and the practicalities and interpretation of museum work. The research, close to the everyday activity in museums, considers the methods used in this work. Its scope also encompasses the teaching organised by museums, ethics and project management, as well as theories concerning the museum as an institution and its operations.
