The only problem with calling everything a museum is where does it stop?
What is not a museum?  We have a local "antique" store that has a
ceramic "dog museum".  They have "historic" materials, they have
"interpretative" labels(what is interpretation can be subjective) and
they do "exhibit" their items.
