Publications of the Museum Lab project

 We recommend them all, particularly the first one – ‘Community’. It contains tips and inspirations regarding the changed approach towards the concept of a museum, understood as an institution which does not focus on its building, objects or projects, but on broadly defined interdisciplinary heritage, regarded as part of commons, requiring common care and an institution which focuses on working out the methods of co-management.
