Abstract
This article introduces the study of museums and exhibitions as communicative contexts of museum texts. It outlines its basic concepts with the aim of introducing us to a field that is still little explored. In exhibitions, the panel genre prevails. The essential features of label translation are analyzed through a level analysis. Implications and conditions of museum translation are established. For each level (discourse & textual, syntactic, lexical & semantic and orthotypographic) the relevant aspects of the genre and the applications for its translation are listed
