Conclusion:
I believe museums help people learn about art, archaeology, ethnology, history, science, culture and anthropology.Museums make the country more diverse and interesting for tourists because they can learn many new things.
A museum is a space that explores the creativity of people and the critical material in their environment.Museums exist not to make any profit from this work but to interest the public in the necessity of the museum system and to make more people fall in love with the museum.A museum is a complex institution that collects, sorts, familiarises, and popularises cultural heritage.
A museum is not just a building where something is placed, nor the collections stored in it.Both are very important.
