To this purpose, it would be extremely interesting and useful for me if you could provide me with the information concerning the definition of Museum in Your country. And namely I refer to the definition adopted both by the legislation of Your country and also by museum associations in your country. The comparison between the different definitions will allow to clarify which countries have actually adopted, and to which extent, the Definition of Museum stated in Art. 2 of ICOM Statutes. I thank you very much in advance for your kind cooperation and I send you my best regards.
