The Genesis of Finnish Museology
Abstract
My chapter describes the history of Finnish museology. I use an archival approach to show how museology became a university discipline, as well as to show the efforts made to enhance professionalism in this area. Museology is a young science in Finland, and its development stems from a knowledge of collection care. I introduce the role of such terms as museography, museology and heritology as part of the Finnish museology field.
