A museum (from the Greek μουσεῖον - House of the Muses) is an institution that collects, studies, stores and displays objects - monuments of natural history, material and spiritual culture, as well as educational and popularization activities.
At first, this concept denoted a collection of objects (exhibits) in art and science, then, since the 18th century, it also includes the building where the exhibits are located.

And since the sixties of the XX century, the pedagogical activity of museums began (special projects for children, adolescents and adults).
