@clairey_ross well I would read Thrift’s Non-Representational space and approach it that way. But that’s the hard way! |

I prefer definitions that answer to the question what a museum ‘does’; not what a museum ‘is’ @clairey_ross @chrisspeed |

@clairey_ross @kostis43 Giaccardi likes the idea that museums offering a ‘pause’. In time, space, society, culture. |

@clairey_ross @chrisspeed Not necessarily activities; that’s too specific. Objectives sound good; practices can also be part of the mix |

Ultimately definitions are on the eye of the beholder, so by definition every definition is context-specific;not helpful agree @clairey_ross |

@clairey_ross or indeed with the PhD! Well if you have a whole chapter on it, then that’s good; see also Luebbe and Huyssen |

@clairey_ross It’s interesting though – bearing in mind *huge* diversity of the sector internationally, does it not provide a common ground? |

@clairey_ross A museum is a public cultural institution. It therefore intends to serve the public. #museumdefinition #definingamuseumcoffee |

@clairey_ross it is not a private collection, not a commercial enterprise. The collections are scientific (Lapaire, 1983) #museumdefinition |

@clairey_ross Museums use economic resources and produce "outputs" like education, the preservation of objects and entertainment. #museum |

@clairey_ross one can characterise the museum according to the catchment area – a national, regional or a local one. #museumdefinition |

@clairey_ross maybe you have to write our museum definition. A good one that everybody will quote… I think museums have changed so much!!! |

@clairey_ross @kostis43 @chrisspeed not all museums have activities, not all museums have even gone digital – or participate with web 2.0 |

@clairey_ross @NickPoole1 in Germany especially many museums do not have a very good website or digital collections. |

@clairey_ross @NickPoole1 nothing is very permanent these days. A museum has a place in most cases, is attached to a location. |

@clairey_ross @sociablephysics museums are not always big building. They should be nice/have interestingness but that is not always the case |

@clairey_ross @digitalurban museums offer culture, stuff people want to see & experience; the visitor online and offline decides where to go |

@clairey_ross @NickPoole1 virtual exhibits & digital elements are new to museums, not necessary but this will happen everywhere now |

@clairey_ross permanent in the sense that the info and exhibits will be there always and add-ons. I do not like the word permanent really |

@clairey_ross @NickPoole1 Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Lima) has no physical location. Is this a museum? I’d say yes. Museum in dig. age! |

@clairey_ross @dhgermany you do not need the digital element to call it a museum. That’s extra – a place to discover treasures. |
