The development of Finnish museums over the last forty years
Abstract
The focus of this article is the development of Finnish museums since the
1970s, when the Ministry of Education started to understand the social benefits of
museums as social memory organizations with activities of research and education.
At this point in time the Ministry began actively developing the preconditions for
museum work, the main ”tools” being several political museum committees which
created a museum hierarchy and network, ensured state subsidy through museum
acts, established university studies of museology, and gave support to the Finnish
Museums Association.
