Abstract
The book Museology and Archaeology for the Public: Karst Museum is a pioneering work of contemporary museological theory
in Slovenia. It is an adapted doctoral dissertation, produced under the supervision of Dr Ivo Maroević and Dr Tomislav Šola at
the chair for museology and heritage management in the Information and Communication Science Department of the Faculty of
Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. There are seven chapters in the book: 1, The museum as concealed part of the third
arm of government; 2, The museum as central part of collective memory, the appearance of the new museology and the birth of
the eco-museum; 3, Between the real and the virtual; 4, Archaeological objects in processes of musealisation; 5, Archaeology
and the past: yesterday’s today, today’s tomorrow; 6, Archaeology for the public; 7, Karst Museum. There are three main subdivisions to the work. A special charm is imparted to the work by not only the graphic archaeological symbols but also by the
thoughts, Latin sayings and quotes conveyed in the distinctive handwriting of the authoress, which are interspersed in the text
and at the beginning of each chapter.
