MUSEUMS
Within the last twenty years a large museum reform that aims to reduce the number of museum units at the regional level and to strengthen the existing units professionally and administratively has taken place and led to a public debate. The process, which is often termed “consolidation”, has focused on mergers between museums in the same regions and on the establishment of national thematic networks. While this process has been substantiated by the importance of professionally and administratively strong museum units, critics have warned that this could result in isomorphism and the loss of local engagement and autonomy in the museum sector.
