WHAT IS A MUSEUM?

A Museum is a building, place or institution devoted to the


acquisition, conservation, study, exhibition and educational
interpretation of objects having scientific, historical or artistic value.
The word Museum is derived from the Latin muses, meaning a
source of inspiration, or to be absorbed in ones thoughts.
Museums collect and care for objects of scientific, artistic or
historical importance and make them available for public viewing
through exhibits that may be part of the permanent collection or
through temporary exhibits.
