In 1993 the Norwegian Museums Association celebrated its 75th anniversary with a conference attended by numerous museum professionals from allparts of Norway. The role of museology was one of the issues covered by the conference. As an introduction I want to quote two statements given by speakers at this conference: «If the proposal to introduce a Norwegian museum training programme should continue to require time and resources - seminars, reports, projects etc. - it certainly represents a deadlock and it leads us astray. The personnel with responsible scientific positions in Norwegian museums have an adequate training both when it comes to disciplinary diversity and depth.» (Niemi 1994:27) «I want to state, here and now, that museology offers training for a practical job. It is a misunderstanding to believe that it should be possible to be a 'museologist: one who studies museums in the abstract without having a basis and anchorage in the real disciplines which are the genuine roots of the museums, the reason for their existence. It is unrealistic, thoughtless and naive.» (Hohler 1994:42
