| Description | The paper is dealing with the origins and development of the oldest international professional organisation, which from its founding at the end of the 19th century until as late as the outbreak of the World War II has united museum workers from Europe and North America. It analyses the activities of the Association and its organisational structure, shows how museum workers from the Czech lands have participated in its functioning, and follows up some forms of how this specific association has impacted the life of the then museums. On a general level it points out the significance, which the association of museum specialists has had for professionalisation of museum work and perception of the museum phenomenon in the first half of the 20th century. |
