The UK Museums Association represents one perspective on defining a museum,
here's another:
Museums enable visitors to better understand the present (and prepare for
the future) by learning about the issues, events, art, architecture,
activities, accoutrements and everyday life of prevous generations.

> Museums enable people to explore collections for inspiration, learning and
> enjoyment. They are institutions that collect, safeguard and make
accessible
> artefacts and specimens which they hold in trust for society.
