Resorting to the arguments of the theoryof the interpretation of culture texts, particularly HaroldBloom’s concept of misreading, the power of interpretativeascertainment achieved by the museum public and themuseum institution is equalled. Relating the literature theoriesto the museum realm, the Author discloses the contingency(namely the conditioning always dependent on the context) ofthe interpretative activity in a museum institution. In a seriesof four intellectual experiments the interpretative instability ofa museum object is approximated, while its possibleconsequences for a museum institution are pointed to.
