Securing the cultural heritage is one of the primary tasks of a museum of cultural history. However, this aspect of these museums’ work rarely attracts attention nor is it subject to any substantial professional debate, despite it being of critical importance for a museum’s future opportunities for development. Since the 1990s, the cultural heritage work done at the National Museum of Military History in Denmark has moved from an object-oriented positivistic perspec- tive to a research-based, problem-oriented and constructivist perspective, as well as moving to conducting active, research-based collecting. This article surveys this process of change and argues for the necessity of departing from ideas that are cha- racteristic of 19th-century museum ideals. The overall conclusion is that collecting should always be conducted as a response to a carefully considered problem that is based on a relevant research issue. This article accounts for the model chosen by the National Museum of Military History.

Abstract The article examines varied interpretations of food heritage in contemporary Estonia, relying on the authors’ experiences of a three-year research and development project at the Estonian National Museum (ENM). The study focuses on the museum researchers’ collaboration with different stakeholders, representing small entrepreneurs and the public and non-profit sectors. The authors tackle the partners’ expectations and outcomes of diverse cooperational initiatives and the opportunities and challenges of a contemporary museum as a public forum for discussions on cultural heritage. The project revealed that diverse, complementary, and contested food heritage interpretations exist side-by-side on the Estonian foodscape. Additionally, the project enabled the authors to become better aware of the researcher’s role in the heritagisation process and of the museum as a place for negotiating the meanings and values of food culture.

Research into memory, which has been carried out in recent decades by researchers in the fields of social sciences and humanities, is also important in the field of museology.Museums collect objects that, at the time of transition, lose their original function they have in previous everyday life and acquire a new one. Objects are generators of memory, and memory works through objects. However, the stories of individual objects are necessarily less comprehensive than stories that are made up of broader semantic wholes. At some stage of the narrative a transition from the collection of individual memories or memories of individuals to a wider whole appears – a collective memory. It is not composed of a multitude of individual memories, but is processed and transformed into a whole that corresponds a particular community. Memory is connected with time, and individual memories are fixed at the points of collective time.Museums are creators of collective memory. Collective memory is connected with the concepts of historical memory, (cultural) heritage and witnessing. The collective memory generated by objects creates an identity. This can be created at every level, from personal to local, from regional to national. Structuring a particular past has an extremely important role in structuring identity. The concepts of memory, heritage, witnessing and history in the field of cultural heritage refer to national museums in the purest form. Each national museum is a guardian, researcher and promoter of a professionally and scientifically transformed collective memory, and thus a constitutive element of national consciousness.

The ambition of the Children’s Museum exposition, which is being created in the New Building of the National Museum, is to offer visitors a space for entertainment, relaxation and education. The exposition will introduce them, in an entertaining way, the natural and cultural heritage of the Czech lands in connection with unique exhibits of the new expositions in the Historical Building of the National Museum. The visitors will go through various historical events by means of the “time machine” of a scientist. The exposition will utilise a number of mechanical interactive elements, as well as modern audio-visual media. The creative team, composed mainly of museum pedagogues, will make use of their vast experience of working with children.
