Well it exists now because its been used but the attempts to use a word
for a phrase is too annoying. Why not becomes a museum!
Thank You

Dear all
I've been asked by a Spanish colleague from the HEREIN project to
provide an English translation for the term Musealization (or
musealisation).
From what we can gather from googling it, it's either 'the
interpretation and presentation of a thing "in situ"' or it's a process
whereby a part of the heritage becomes museumified (our new word to try
to explain this phenomena) eg. Anne Hathaway's cottage stops being a
cottage and becomes a heritage object.
Does anyone have a clue whether this word actually exists in English?
We've found a few websites but they all tend to be foreign language
sites although there are a couple of sites from down under which seem to
use it as well.
Any help would be appreciated
Phil
