M arketization -the introduction of competition into the public sector -and digital- ization of society, are two epochal changes that have emerged during my lifetime, penetrating a major portion of our everyday activities (Borowiecki, Forbes & Fresa 2016, xx). Cultural institutions have not been immune to these changes: Museums today need marketing strategies, outreach programmes, and digital collection management tools -things that were quite unheard of some decades ago. How have these transformational changes affected the function and perception of museums, and the people who work for them? These two questions go hand in hand, because it is impossible to separate a museum from the people who work for it. They decide the "what" and "how" of the exhibitions and shape the public image of their institutions. Their practices create museums
