Abstract
The paper deals with the theoretical insights and interpretations of the concept of museum object. The discussion is based on the survey of literature on museology, ethnography and art history as well as on some relevant official publications, as museum object is associated with these areas in many diversified ways. Rarely considered as a discrete, separate concept in scientific literature, museum object is commonly treated in the specific museological context in which it occurs. Within museology as an independent scientific discipline, museum object is one of its key concepts. Indeed, it is such a specific concept that any attempt at its interpretation often includes various aspects from a range of different theoretical approaches. The paper contributes to the systematization of knowledge on museum object but also makes reference to the extensive literature on issues relevant to museum object or to those of which museum object is the basis and starting point.
