Natural History and Natural Science Museums - Museums of natural history and
natural science deal with the earth. They store many samples like birds, mammals, insects,
plants, rocks minerals and fossils. Coming from European cabinets of curiosities in the
Renaissance and the Enlightenment, these museums boomed during the 19th century as
natural sciences were developed further. In Latin America and United States of America
physical anthropology is often included in collections. Lately they have also started dealing with
nature conservation and wider problems pertaining to environment.
Art Museum - Art museums, referred to as art galleries, rely on the object-to-viewer
communication aspect to engage their visitors but tend to focus on the aesthetic consideration
upon their material culture acquisition. The collections normally encompass paintings,
sculptures, and decorative arts, with the addition of industrial arts in the 19th century to
inculcate the good design concept. Despite the 20th century 20 influence of primitive art on
arts, exaggeration of the aspects of object aesthetics made its functionality and context to be
relatively opposed by the critics upon the well-lit installations. Lighting of the objects
complements the aesthetic value, but a lot of artificial lighting may be perceived as inauthentic
or theatrical.
Museum in the Philippines - Basically, this passage motivated the
students to visit the museums and have an enjoyable learning experience. It
mentions how human culture and history are rich inside of museum walls
and that there is more to experience than what school is going to teach them
directly. The passage suggests that it is the best time to dive into the
heritage and learn from events that happened long before.
National Museum of the Philippines - A trust of the Government, is an educational,
scientific and cultural institution that acquires, documents, preserves, exhibits, and fosters
scholarly study and public appreciation of works of art, specimens, and cultural and historical
artifacts representative of the unique cultural heritage of the Filipino people and the natural
history of the Philippines.

Science Technology and Museum - Starting from the Age of Reason, science museums
concentrate on the evolution and utilization of scientific concepts and tools. A number of them
were established by learned societies or private individuals who had amassed collections like
Teylers Museum in the 18th century; others grew out of this to become places that preserved
technological artifacts instead. Some such institutions are more concerned with showing how
things work rather than displaying what has been done – they prioritize process over product.
They may be called “popular” because many people enjoy them, including both children and
adults who find educational value in their visits.
General Museum - General museums were established from private
collections in the 18th to early 20th centuries. They cover a wide range of
topics and embody the encyclopedic spirit of their age. Generally, such
museums are regional or local enterprises aimed at advancing
understanding of natural and human history. Many possess specific
collections which serve as windows into larger pasts via temporary displays
designed for community participation.
Importance of Museums - Museums are important establishments,
which store and exhibit things that help us see into the past. In the
beginning, they used to be monuments of ignorance rather than knowledge
because people did not understand what they were for. Contrarily, at present
time museums have become centers for learning where individuals can come
and find out about different ways humans have lived throughout history by
displaying objects. A museum is a place where people go to learn. They offer
formal education like schools but also informal education such as what you
may gain from talking with friends or family members who know more about
something than you do. The idea behind it is that visitors should be able to
freely interpret artifacts on their own terms so that they can get closer to an
understanding of how things have changed over time.
