da podrže svoje pravo da zadrže i izlažu umetničkepredmete nabavljene u prethodnim vekovima, po drugačijimzakonima i standardima. Ali oni će ipak morati dapregovaraju sa etničkim grupama i nacijama – državama,koje polažu pravo na umetnost i predmete kojiodražavaju njihovu kulturnu baštinu. A ovaj složenipravni i etički problem neće nestati. U stvari, zbog svečešćih međunarodnih putovanja i sve veće dostupnostinovih velikih količina istorijskih zapisa i podataka kojise na njih odnose, on pokazuje sve znake da će postatisve više javan i sve urgentniji. Još jedno važno pitanje ješta bi univerzalni muzeji mogli da budu i koju uloguigraju ili će u budućnost igrati u društvu. U vremenuglobalnog terora, ratova i glasova predaka koji predviđajune samo rat, već katastrofalni sukob civilizacija,mogućnost postojanja univerzalne perspektive o kulturnimrazlikama, koja bi doprinela većem međusobnomrazumevanju i poštovanju je izuzetno značajna. Ako bimuzeji bili u stanju da pomognu da se stvori i preneseuniverzalni pogled na kulturne vrednosti koji bi imaoverodostojnost i vrednost i izvan zapadnjačkih kulturnihelita, oni bi zaista dali neprocenjiv doprinos globalnomdruštvu.Literatura:1.

Njihovo prisustvo u današnjemsvetu ima veliki uticaj u oblastima kao što su ljudskaprava, muzika, film i politika. Tokom poslednje četiri decenije,kanadski muzeji su, sa svojim programima, profesionalizmomi kvalitetom usluga, bili među vodećima usvetu, dajući izuzetan doprinos razvoju muzeja, kako lokalnihtako i širom sveta. U Kanadi danas postoji 2.500muzeja i srodnih institucija, s približno 25 hiljada stalnozaposlenih, kojima pomaže oko 40 hiljada volontera.Svake godine, kanadske muzeje poseti oko 58 milionaljudi. Muzeji doprinose opštoj privredi zemlje, i jedan suod nosilaca kulturnog turizma, delatnosti koja ima brzrazvoj, pogotovo u urbanim centrima.Međutim, prilike su se značajno promenile sredinomi krajem devedesetih. Tada su, na sva tri nivoa, federal-64These eighteen museums may indeed have a legal argumentto support their right to keep and exhibit artobjects obtained in previous centuries under differentlaws and standards. But they will still have to negotiatewith the ethnic groups and nations – the countries thatlay claims on the art and objects which reflect their culturalheritage. And this complex legal and moral issuewill not simply go away. Actually, owing to the increasein international travel and greater accessibility of historicalrecords and the data related to them, it shows signsof becoming more public and more urgent. Another importantquestion is what universal museums could beand what role they lay or they will play in future. At atime of global terror, wars and ancestral voices prophesyingnot just war but a catastrophic clash of civilizations,the possibility of coherent universal perspectiveon cultural difference, which would contribute to greatermutual understanding and respect, is of the utmostimportance. If museums were capable of helping to createand communicate a universal perspective on culturalvalues, that would achieve credibility and currencyoutside western cultural elites, they would indeed makea precious contribution to global society.Literature:1.

Their presence is strongly felttoday in spheres of human rights, music, film, politics, toname a few. During the past four decades, Canadianmuseums have been world leaders in the programming,professionalism and quality of their facilities and services.They have made an exceptional contribution to thedevelopment of museums both locally and internationally.There are over 2,500 museums and related institutionsin Canada. They employ around 25,000 people, andengage 44,000 volunteers. Annually, approximately 58million people visit museums and related institutions inCanada. Museums contribute to the country’s economy,and they drive and encourage cultural tourism, an industrythat is booming, especially in urban areas.However, in the mid- and late nineties, all three levelsof government - federal, provincial and municipal -significantly reduced their funding not only to museums
