Colleagues,
My direct and quick response is that this very defintion is too broad.

Colleagues:
The following is one of the definition that has been suggested. What are
your thoughts about this idea. Does it adequately describe a "museum," or
is it too broad, too limiting, too inclusive, or too exclusive?
A MUSEUM IS AN EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION THAT SERVES THE PUBLIC BY
INTERPRETING SCIENTIFIC, CULTURAL AND/OR NATURAL HERITAGE THROUGH
THE USE OF A PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AND OFTEN OBJECTS. MUSEUMS THAT
HOLD COLLECTIONS CARE FOR THEM AS A PUBLIC TRUST AND PRESERVE THEM
FOR THE FUTURE.
