metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article focuses on the reconstruction of the research understanding of the “university
  museum” concept. University museums originated at the end of the 17th century as rooms for
  teaching students. Over time, university museums were eventually opened to the public and
  included in the missionary activities of a university. They also began to serve as an intermediary
  between the closed university and the community. The museums became “a shop window
  for universities, a source of prestige and pride which contributes to the quality of life within
  a university”. For 50 years researchers have been discussing the uniqueness of university museums
  and the problems they face. The close connection with the academic sphere, direct access
  to the knowledge and skills of scientists, the traditions of scientific schools, research and
  publications, makes university museums unique in comparison to other museums. One of the
  important problems is the correlation between university and public in university museums.
  It includes the distinction between university and public museums, the professionalization of
  university museum staff, attracting visitors and sponsors, and the degree of dependence of the
  exhibition policy of university museums on society and the state. The theoretical understanding
  of the problems of university museums has provoked the organization of national and international associations dedicated to solving practical issues and popularizing university
  collections.
