Taxing the consumption of electronic services has proven not to be an easy task, especially in regard to its provision for non-taxable persons.

Museums, as we know them, originate from the enlightened modernity with its emphasis on rationality and positivism. Today, however, modernity is highly contested, and the role of the museum has shifted. We argue that historical museum exhibitions operate in the boundary between didactics and experiences, which in turn affects the way exhibitions communicate with its visitors. The aim of this thesi
