Sažetak
The “museum boom” is the phenomenon of rapid growth in the number of museums over the last several decades. I will try to find the reasons for the progressive growth of the number of museums from the standpoint of the discourse of cultural studies, explain the meaning of the role of museums in contemporary society and in the context of various relations of power through the analysis of texts of the several most prominent cultural theorists (R. Williams, S. Hall, R. Johnson, T. Bennett, T. Eagleton). Through the questioning of the terms “lived”/’recorded” culture, the culture of the “selective tradition’, ‘documentary’, “ideal” and ‘social” culture, the ‘structure of feelings”, identity /”identification”, I will try to answer the question whether museums really meet the needs they create and whether we need them at all.
