Description topics

Museums

A museum is a permanent institution for the benefit of society and its
development, accessible to public, non-profit, that acquires, conserves,
scientifically researches and exhibits the material witnesses of mankind
and his environment and informs on this for purposes of study, education
and pleasure.

Nature of the collection

A museum collection is a collection of objects by which the museum is
justified.
The collection is (partly) made accessible in exhibition spaces. It
is possible that a part of the collection has been stored in a depot
or elsewhere because of a lack of exhibition space, vulnerability,
restoration, policy or for other reasons.
