Introduction

Museums have evolved significantly from their origins as private collections of


curiosities to the diverse institutions we know today. Early museums, often
associated with wealthy patrons or royal families, showcased artifacts as symbols
of power and prestige. The 18th and 19th centuries witnessed a shift towards
public access and the establishment of national museums, reflecting growing
interest in education and scientific inquiry. This period also saw the development of
specialized museums focusing on specific disciplines like art, history, or science.
The Purpose and Function of
Museums

Museums preserve cultural heritage and


scientific specimens, conduct research, and
educate the public through exhibitions and
outreach, fostering appreciation for diverse
cultures and knowledge.
