The word “museology” means the science of museums – including research into museal processes such as collection, registration, preservation and communication. The research programme in museology is conducted by scholars from Aarhus University who adopt a wide variety of approaches to the ways in which society (both now and in the past) chooses, institutionalises and communicates the values which people wish to preserve as their common cultural, art and natural heritage.
The research programme in museology participates in Uses of the Past, which is a special focus area at the Faculty of Arts. Participants play an active role and are part of the steering committee for Dansk Center for Museumsforskning.
