Overview Museum studies, as a concept is difficult to grasp. It is invariably discussed according to the pre-existing narratives which circle around the words and inform opinion, without providing, and often precluding, any detailed analysis of the area of enquiry. This contribution puts forward an alternative reading of museum studies based on an awareness of the varied nature of the work being undertaken under the banner of museum studies and the range of stakeholders in that work. The paper attempts to step beyond entrenched narrative in order to acknowledge the working practices and relationships which make museum studies meaningful at the present time. It is argued that museum studies can be understood as an area of enquiry made meaningful through the participation and active involvement of individuals and communities in training and education, research and practice
