What is a museum?The paper presents a contrastive analysis of the concept of Museum, and isolates its components: a collection of Objects, a collective Receiver, a historical Sender, a stationary Institution housing the collection and staging the Collection, a professional Staff responsible for research on the objects and retrieval of objects according to a selective Definition of the collection from reference to the historical sender, and finally a strategy of temporary Exposition developed by the same staff.
