TAKO
TAKO provides museums with tools to open up and develop their collections collaboratively.
TAKO is an acquisitions, documentation and collection collaboration
network for professionally managed Finnish museums, which is part of the
operations of the Finnish Heritage Agency and the National Museum of
Finland.
TAKO, the acquisition, documentation and collection collaboration
network for professionally managed museums, develops and maintains the national
division of labour in acquisitions and documentation. The jointly recognised
and shared acquisitions and documentation responsibilities of the museums
participating in the network enable the versatile utilisation and mobility of
collections while also emphasising the accessibility and importance of
collections. The network’s systematic development work supports the
community-based utilisation of museum collections as a social resource. The
TAKO network develops museums’ collection expertise and supports their roles as
cultural heritage specialists and conveyors. The network promotes diverse
collection collaboration and participates in topical discussions. The TAKO
network provides a forum for new discussions, collaboration and the sharing of
expertise in the field of collection work.
