The ICOFOM publication "What is a museum?", edited by Ann Davis, Francois Mairesse and André Desvallées, has been published both as printed and online copy. This book is the revised and enlarged translated version of "Vers un redéfinition du musée?"(L'Harmattan), which, for example contains a pictorial series by Marc Maure: "The gaze of a museologist: Signs and visitors".
This book addresses administrators and politicians, museum professionals and museologists likewise. It reflects the so-called ICOM "definition" of museum in a new light and gives an impression how visitors meet with museums.
