Abstract

Infrastructures do not exist by themselves. They are the result of converging forces actions and interactions. Different actors support and are supported by the infrastructure, in a form of interdependency between agents and artifacts. Museum as cultural infrastructure involves nonetheless practices, memberships and activities. And, the interdependence of elements in infrastructuring museum is improved and modified by the current increased introduction of various forms of technologies that changes the morphology of the museum itself, and of the role of curators and visitors. In this context, museum needs a suggestive (re)interpretation about the figure of curators in participating and infrastructuring museum.
