Thirdly there is also the possibility of reconceptualizing museum visitors as users of collections and displays, in which guise visitors would also have something in common with the objects' original users and also with the curators of the middle category. We suggest that thinking of museum objects in these ways, in terms of use, could constitute a coherent approach to doing museum work that would enrich the wider project of science and technology museums"--Provided by publisher.Industrial museumsScience museumsTechnologyHistorySourcesScienceHistorySourcesToolsCollection and preservationMuseum exhibitsIndustrial museums.Science museums.TechnologyHistoryScienceHistoryToolsCollection and preservation.Museum exhibits.507.4Boon Timhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHaines Elizabeth(Elizabeth V.),http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDubois Arnaudhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStaubermann K.
