This scientific article discusses the institutional aspects of museums including first, the museums' profile in terms of infrastructure, human resources, collection; second, the formal legal aspects of nomenclature and legal protection; third, the institutions' organizational aspects including tasks, functions, authority, and responsibilities of the sheltering institutions; fourth, the pattern of coordination, cooperation and institutional relations museum with other relevant institutions; and fifth, case studies of revitalization of museum activities that lead to institutional management policies of professional museums.Discussion on of the institutional management of museums is useful, first, for thedevelopment of information and library science, particularly institution of information in addition to the library. Second, it provides an overview of the governance of the museum in government institutions. Third, the scope of study is limited to institutional management of museums in government institutions, thus there is a need for the development of studies on institutional management of museums for other types of museums, such as museums that are managed by private or personal institutions.Keywords: Gawitra, information institution, management, museum.
