Asian countries today have developed or are developing their own
museology and museums, which are not simple copies of European or
North American models. This book provides readers with carefully
chosen examples of museum activities―for example, exhibition and
sharing information, database construction, access to and
conservation of museum collections, relationships between museums
and local communities, and international cooperation in the field
of cultural heritage. Readers are expected to include museum
professionals and museology students.
