Abstract

Museology is a multidisciplinary science, it needs and uses other
sciences to prove and verify the validity of its ideas and address it to
present topics that explain and list its museum objects, which often
contain a set of puzzles that highlight the relationship between person
and the surrounding reality in the past and the present.
This requires that museums be linked to other analytical disciplines to
exchange knowledge and solve problems that cannot be solved with a
specific science. As well as the museum activities it conducts are also
influenced by a large variety of scientific, social and natural
disciplines which define the museum's tasks and research objectives
which helps to expand the theoretical core of museum objects.
So, if museology is not interdisciplinary, it will not have the ability to
understand the original archaeological context of the objects to be
displayed and It will not have the ability narrate a true story that
achieves the connection and communication necessary to present its
idea and realize its goals.
