18 - 24 MAY MUSEUM WEEK! A museum is an institution or organization that collects, preserves, researches, exhibits and interprets objects or works of artistic, cultural, historical or scientific importance. Museums provide a physical space where these objects are displayed and made available to the public for educational, cultural and recreational purposes. It can focus on various themes and disciplines such as art, history, science, technology, natural history, anthropology, archeology. They may be dedicated to a specific topic or have a broader scope covering more than one area of interest. Museums typically have curators and experts who oversee the collection and preservation of artifacts. They carefully select objects to be acquired or donated, document their origin and historical context, and ensure their proper care and preservation. In addition to permanent exhibitions, museums often hold temporary exhibitions that explore specific topics, showcase traveling collections or present contemporary art. These exhibits may include interactive displays, multimedia presentations and educational materials to engage visitors and enhance their understanding of the subject matter.
