Museum as technology

There are no complex studies in the field of cultural theory on the effectiveness of the museum. It is not clear what are the main versions of the sociocultural purpose of the museum. It has not been revealed which sociocultural applications of the museum are harmful to the institution and society as a whole, and which are not. The meta-problem of research is caused by the fact that the empirical question of choosing the best strategy for the functioning of the museum has not been brought to the theoretical level. There are only particular scientific discourses that have not passed the procedure of scientific criticism and logical-deductive testing. Thus, the scientific problem of the sociocultural purpose of the museum in view of its institutional specifics can be solved by formulating scientific theories that correspond to the particular directions of empirical use of the museum.
