HODNOTA A CENA V MÚZEJNEJ TEÓRII A PRAXI

This paper analyses the development and the current state of axiology in Slovak museums in its historical and legislative context. Additionally, we attempt to define the values that are – or should be – applied to the valuation of objects in museum collections, as well as said valuation’s philosophical, economic and museological underpinnings. The final section of the paper then proposes a pricing tool specifically designed for the evaluation of pricing offers and purchase prices of museum objects during the creation of museum collections.
