Research and development work at the National Museum is generally conducted in connection with the museum’s own exhibitions, collection activities, publications and conferences.
The museum staff collaborate with other museums by contributing with their expertise to publications as editors, authors and specialists in their respective fields. In addition, several of the museum’s staff serve on boards and in committees at other organisations both nationally and internationally.
Publications about research and development work by National Museum staff are documented in the academic research database CRISTIN.
