Good afternoon, This is also the first time that I participate in this discussion: According the bureaucratic tool - according to the Act of April 7, 2000 on the Protection of Collections of Museum Character, the museum in the Czech Republic is defined as follows: A museum acquires, accumulates, permanently preserves, keeps records of, and provides expert treatment of products of nature or human creations, it ensures public utilization thereof, studies the environment from which the products of nature or human creations are acquired and provides educational services for scientific and study purposes. The Czech museums have not complained against the definition since the law was published. Pavel Jirasek ICMS Chairman --- Odchozí zpráva neobsahuje viry.
