about omj

Australia's only peer-reviewed online museum journal.

The Open Museum Journal (OMJ) publishes scholarly and applied research and commentary on museums. It is intended as a space where issues of interpretation, the politics of representation and the practices of collecting, exhibition development and public programs can be discussed.


OMJ's brief is to provide an opportunity for dialogue between those with an interest in researching museums and those working in them. It's purpose is to provide a platform for stimulating dialogues across the theory/practice divide.
