| Description | The turbulent social development in the long term raises the need of the museum community to adequately and conceptually respond to topical global challenges. One of the basic preconditions for the implementation of particular subsequent steps in museum practice is the adoption of the generally accepted term ‘museum’, which is of key importance in many regards. This is also why the issue of museum definition has a permanent and irreplaceable place in sessions of the representative international professional organisation ICOM. The plan to discuss this problem in the next 2022 ICOM General Conference in Prague is currently accompanied by the effort to continuously monitor the opinions of museum community at the national level with the aim to achieve a more distinct consensus and to temper from the very beginning possible disagreements during the approval process. The questionnaire survey is a direct response to this requirement initiated by the ICOM bodies and it represents an interim analysis of attitudes of a studied group of persons connected with museum sphere in the Czech Republic to this problem. The answers were acquired by means of an extensive quantitative inquiry. |
