Museum And Their Mission
by Luka on Sep.28, 2010, under Assignments
Museums are rooted in Wunderkammers. They were personal museums for people who wanted to appreciate their own wonderful collection. Eventually these collections became public and that is what became museums. I think the mission of a museum is to share the wonder of art and the world around us with the public and to help people develop appreciation and knowledge of the art and other aspects of the world. The mission statement of The Museum of Natural History is “To discover, interpret and disseminate – through scientific research and self-education – knowledge about human cultures, the natural world and the universe”. Another example is the Museum of Modern Arts mission Statement, which is “ The Museum of Modern Art is dedicated to being the foremost museum of modern art in the world.
