Summary/Abstract: Musical museum-keeping plays an indispensable role in preserving the musical cultural heritage, which is part of the spiritual potential of society. This notwithstanding, its theoretical generalisation musical museology is currently still only seeking out its place in the systematics of museology and musicology. Valuable suggestions towards the formation of musical museology may be found in the musicological work of Jozef Kresánek. Particularly in Hudobná historiografia [Music Historiography] (1981) and Úvod do systematiky hudobnej vedy [Introduction to Systematic Musicology] (1980) he signals the importance of the existence and activity of musico historical institutes and the monuments which they preserve, treat and present. He also mentioned the need for a formulation of the methodology and theory of this work and indicated circles of issues concerning the basic functions of museums selection, storage of treasures, presentation and communication.
