This master thesis is an analysis on the current specific actions on representation and interaction taken in contemporary open air museums focused on ethnography. The aim is to highlight museology pathways used to represent local culture in these institutions and to explore how the public is involved with and relates to these specific discourses on heritage. Special attention will be devoted to the shift of museums from authoritative places of education to socially inclusive spaces. It is the duty of heritage professionals to focus on the issues of representation in ethnographic museums and to work on the notion of accessibility and involvement for and with the public. [Three case studies are used in a comparative perspective: the Hungarian Open Air Museum (Szentendrei Skanzen), the Marquèze Ecomuseum in France and the HuronWendat Museum in Québec.] Thanks to thorough fieldwork and extensive secondary literature, this master thesis will further probe the prevailing notions of identity, continuity and unity in the new museology context.
