Post-critical museology

https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu27.2017.203Abstract
The text aims to enable a clear understanding of the Anglo-Saxon concept of Postcritical museology, coined as a result of an empirical research project carried out at Tate Britain. Bringing back the fieldwork into museological research and breaking with the institutional critique for being too abstract, post-critical museology offers a system of specific methods for applied research of museum practices to test the compliance of a museum’s mission with its audiences’ and employees’ views. In terms of metamuseology, the article looks at how the term “museology” is understood in English-speaking countries, as well as which implications that approach may have for the structure of museum theory.
