Museums

This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large. It should list very few (if any) media or article pages directly, and should mainly contain subcategories. Media files and articles in this category should be moved to subcategories where appropriate.

For more information, see Museum.

"A museum is a non-profit making, permanent institution in the service of society and of its development, and open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, education and enjoyment, material evidence of species and their environment."

Modern museums concentrate on a particular subject, and most museums belong to one or more of the following categories: fine arts, applied arts, archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, history, cultural history, science, technology, natural history. Within these categories many museums specialize further, e.g. museums of modern art, local history, aviation history, agriculture or geology.
