Kunsthaus = Art,house - I think I'd translate this as Art Gallery or Arts center, rather than Art Museum - Museums to me are places where historical things are displayed rather than contemporary things; and Art house has a meaning in Film (Movies) in the UK. --Mcginnly | Natter 10:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually no - I think this may be one of those US/UK differences - the Museum of Modern Art - The Guggenheim Museum etc.etc. yep, I'm talking out of my Kyber again. --Mcginnly | Natter 10:39, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

errichtet - comes up quite a bit in German architecture articles - babelfish and google always translate it as established but it can also mean simply "built" or "constructed".

In the concept section - Ausrichtung - I looked up Ausrichten instead and one of the meaning is "to stage" rather than "adjustment".

I'm the last one to suggest dumbing-down the encylopedia but can we find a better english word than "museological" requirements - how about curatorial - maybe not any better........mmmmmmm.......?
