My results show that the possibility for understanding the messages and symbolism exist, but

My paper also discuss related things: how exhibitions are made, the visitor, the society versus
the museum, the new growing trend towards the museum as a great experience, the changes
within the museum world and how this affect the future of the archaeological museum. (Less)
