Abstract

What is involved in setting up a museum? How do thousands of museums come to be set up? What is entailed in documenting those museums, and in better understanding the circumstances of their foundation? Over the last five years the Mapping Museums research team has been preoccupied with these questions. This paper thinks through the context, process, and the findings of that research in relation to the theme of networks. Conceptualising networks as points of connection between nodes, I consider the status of connections – are they institutional, social, personal, economic, intellectual, political – and the flow of people, objects, ideas between them; I examine the process of building connections, the strength or fragility of connection, and a lack of connection.
