Abstract
Abstract The universe of the museum is in the process of profound transformation, a reflection of the societies in which museum institutions evolve. The number of museums has grown considerably and their activities have diversified. Our traditional understanding of this sector is no longer adapted to the present-day context and many are attempting to redefine it. The same holds true for the teaching of museum studies, since the milieu has been professionalised and has taken on new responsibilities. This article tracks recent developments in museum studies and invites the reader to reflect on current trends towards increasing the autonomy of the museum, in light of the fact that the museum has become an object of study. Limiting the discussion to a specific aspect of the museum, the author takes stock of the contribution made to the field by various disciplines. She also evaluates the museum's role and function in terms of eight meta-functions. There are increasing expectations of museums: they must reflect and attempt to make sense of society, resolve social problems and provide new orientations, serve as a lever for minorities and open a window onto other cultures. The challenges facing museums also affect the curriculum of museum studies programmes. Are we teaching in order to reproduce the status quo, or in order to effect change?

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
