IMPORTANCE OF MUSEUMS - PART 1
1. Academic Research
Behind
the scenes, museums are conducting important research on the objects and
artifacts in their collections. Not only do personnel at the museum conduct
research, but museums may also partner with outside entities such as
universities so that researchers, graduate students, and professors have the
opportunity to utilize their collection.
2. Museums educate future generations
Speaking
of the future, museums and other cultural institutions will always have a role
to play in the education of future generations. From creating exhibitions
targeted towards children to teaching children in a quasi-classroom
environment, institutions around the world are doing their bit to pass down
knowledge.
3. They Document Daily Life
Recording everyday life within a culture is one of the most important pieces
of preserving it.
With the rate at which cultures are disappearing, careful preservation of daily
life is the only hope a heritage group has for recovering its culture. Daily
life encompasses rituals, religion, foods, art, and any other facets that make a
culture unique. Regardless of what type of museum it is, odds are it has some
cultural artifacts, art, music, or technology displayed.
