Dear Colleagues
I send you the following proposal for a very short definition of
museum, in two languages (sorry, but I am not able to translate it into
spanish):
Le Musées sont des lieux de mémoire, de connaissance et de crèation
d'identité qui s'accomplissent à travers la collection, la préservation
et la transmission du patrimoine culturel des communnautés.
Museums are sites of memory, knowledge, creation of identity which act
through collecting, taking care, interpreting and exhibiting the
cultural heritage of communities.
