Abstract

University museums carry out significant roles and duties to define, process, distribute, reshape and develop knowledge in scientific domain. By the end of 1990, the literature on university museums has expanded, the role of subjectivity and perso- nalization of interest strengthened. Educational transformation for redefining and archiving of collections has become promi- nent. Since 2000, studies on museums and visitors have increased. This leads an increase in the awareness and significance of the establishment of university museums. The increase in the role of university museums in research areas supports the establishment of university museums in various areas. Enclosed, isolated university collections were not able to endure stable in front of today’s rapid social transformations. Transforming university collections into living institutions of museums is a significant attempt of transformation of past tradition into future. Following the transformation, these traditional and institutional practices about university collections should be redefined. University museums will transform universities into more valuable, branding institutions in the next century.
