Museums
are
dedicated to helping people understand and appreciate the
history of civilizations, and the record of humanity’s artistic,
scientific, and technological achievements. Museums collect objects of
scientific, aesthetic, or historical importance; care for them; and
study, interpret, and exhibit them for the purposes of public
education and the advancement of knowledge. There are museums in
almost every major city in the world and in many smaller communities
as well.
Online exhibitions and virtual museums
extend a museum beyond its physical walls and invite virtual visitors
to explore images and text at their own pace. These exhibitions range
from digital images of a museum’s works to three-dimensional,
interactive tours of a museum’s galleries with audio and
video.
