museums
Explanation:
I think “muzejnictví” here means the concept of museums and museum work, not museum studies (http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzeologie)

In the sentences below, for example, I would translate museums as “muzejnictví”:

“The history of our museum has a place in the history of museums in general.”
http://wwwmcc.murdoch.edu.au/ReadingRoom/3.1/Goodman.html

“The Story of Irish Museums, 1790-2000.”
http://jhc.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/09/23/jhc.f...

“Paul Stavast’s research interests include the history of museums in Utah.”

neutral  Jitka Komarkova (Mgr.): I think that "museology" or "museum studies" is generic to "curatorship" and reflects the meaning of the Czech word more precisely. Jak by se pak překládalo "kurátorství", "kustodství"?
