| Description | Promising initial boom of museum studies in Brno in the 1960s was largely suspended due to the events in August 1968. In the following period, yet under the auspices of the external Department of Archeology and museum studies, it was possible to implement at the Brno University the postgraduate courses for museum staff all over Czechoslovakia and since 1987 also for those interested from abroad. Despite the frequent difficulties and compliacations, the local museologists under the leadership of Zbyněk Zbyslav Stránský succeeded to enforce their own theoretical system of museum studies, which in their conception represented a distinct and autonomous scientific discipline. Education activities in which a number of personalities outside Brno was involved, have been inherently connected throughout the whole time with documentation and mainly with scientific and research activities, the results of which significantly affected the overall development and shaping of the discipline. The aim of this paper is to analyze the tangled destinies of education of Museum studies in Brno from early 1970s to the year 1990, when the Department of museum studies was renewed at then Masaryk University. |
