Museologisiin is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective museologinen, meaning museological or pertaining to museology.

Museologia, the field commonly referred to as museology in English, is the interdisciplinary study of museums as institutions and their roles in society. It examines how museums acquire, manage, preserve, and present artifacts and other cultural materials, and how these activities shape knowledge and public memory. Core concerns include collection management, curatorial practice, conservation, education and public programming, governance and ethics, and the digitization and accessibility of collections. Researchers in the field analyze visitor experience, museum pedagogy, audience engagement, and the relationship between museums and communities, as well as policy, funding, and sustainability.

In Finnish discourse, museologisiin appears in scholarly writing, policy documents, and professional guidelines addressing topics within museology. It follows standard Finnish grammar for adjectives, adapting to different nouns and cases as required. The term and its inflected forms are mainly encountered in academic, curatorial, and heritage-management contexts.
