    Museum

    A museum (/mjuːˈziːəm/ mew-ZEE-əm; plural museums or, rarely, musea) is a building or


    institution that cares for and displays a collection of artifacts and other objects of artistic,
    cultural, historical, or scientific importance.[1] Many public museums make these items
    available for public viewing through displays that may be permanent or temporary.[2] The
    largest museums are located in major cities throughout the world, while thousands of local
    museums exist in smaller cities, towns, and rural areas. Museums have varying aims, ranging
    from the conservation and documentation of their collection, serving researchers and
    specialists, to catering to the general public. The goal of serving researchers is not only
    scientific, but intended to serve the general public.

    There are many types of museums, including art museums, natural history museums,
    science museums, local history museums, and children's museums. According to the
    International Council of Museums (ICOM), there are more than 55,000 museums in 202
    countries.[3]
