Nounmuseums
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A museum is a building or institution which houses a collection of artifacts. Museums collect and care for objects of scientific, artistic, or historical importance and make them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. Early museums began as the private collections of wealthy individuals, families or institutions of art and rare or curious natural objects and artifacts. There are museums all over the world. The museums of ancient times, such as the Musaeum of Alexandria, would be equivalent to a modern graduate institute. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "museums" How come museums offer few programs for adults? Q. I'm interested in learning more at some museums and planetariums but most of their programs are aimed at the primary and middle school levels. I don't think programs such as "Summer Space Camp", are offered for anyone over the age of 12. The more advanced the grades go, it seems the fewer programs they have to offer. Even interesting stuff for senior high students are hard to find, and it is definitely a stretch to see anything for university and graduate students being advertised at the museum. How come attractions offer so few interesting programs suitable for older learners? Asked by Adidas - Sat May 30 21:52:55 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Educated people who enter a museum are already motivated and trained to learn on their own. Children need help. Older students can do science fair projects, reports, and so on, on their own. They also begin to specialize, so it's harder to tailor a program with appeal to a larger group. Adults have less free time available due to their responsibilities to raise their own children, and to earn a living. More programs are indeed available to retired adults and senior citizens.

As such I live on the West End (close to Hillhead underground stop) and have yet see the rest of the city. I have heard that most everything museum wise is going to be be free this weekend. What would be the best way to get around to the museums and what museums can I not miss? Don't worry about the one's on the West End. THANKS! Asked by bgladetyll - Fri Sep 18 11:05:47 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Many of the museums in Glasgow are free all year. What is happening this weekend is Doors Open Day. About 150 buildings are open for free on Saturday or Sunday. These range from churches to fire stations. The most interesting of these are places like the BBC, but you need to book in advance for some of the very popular buildings. Have a look out for the blue signs as you wander around at the weekend, and look at the website: If you are reading this too late to go and see anything, visit Edinburgh next weekend (26 - 27 September 2009).

Q. I'm traveling to Italy next week with five friends. How can we avoid the lines in the Vatican Museums? If we purchase the tickets in advance would we still have to wait in line? Any recommendations? Asked by GuessWho007 - Mon Apr 14 22:03:37 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is NO line at all if you go at noon. (maybe 10 minutes). cos everyone goes at first hour in the morning. I knew this and anyway went at opening hour and had to wait for about 2 hours, when i left the museum at noon... surprise: there wasn`t any line. Good Luck (i hope you could understand my english) Answered by PP - Tue Apr 15 08:33:10 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "museums" |
