Museums are institutions (not buildings!) that keep and use objects (of nature, science, art and history and other memorabilia) for research and presentation.
The museum building acts as interface between the public and the holdings of the museum.
[edit]
history of museums
The first museum was the museum of Alexandria, a centre of learning like the Academy or Lyceum, it wasn't until the renaissance that museums displayed objects and such, maybe this should be included
One temple of Muses (aka Mouseion) was also in the Athenian suburb Akademeia (Hekademeia), where Platon's Academy was situated. This could also be included. --Oop 02:15, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
