A museum is a "permanent institution in the service of society and of its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment, for the purposes of education, study, and enjoyment", as defined by the International Council of Museums. The UK Museums Association definition (adopted 1998) is:

“ Museums enable people to explore collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment. They are institutions that collect, safeguard and make accessible artifacts and specimens, which they hold in trust for society. ”

There are tens of thousands of museums all over the world. The museums of ancient times, such as the Musaeum of Alexandria, would be equivalent to a modern graduate institute. The modern meaning of the word can be traced to the Museum of Pergamon in Anatolia, which displayed artwork.

I need to visit art museums and galleries in another major city for school. What is a good city to check out?
Q. The normal trip is to visit the galleries and museums in NYC, but in addition I want to visit another city, but it has to have New York caliber art. Any ideas? I forgot to mention that I am in DC. I would prefer places close enough to there that I could drive or take a short flight, but really I would like to know about places anywhere in the country. If I can't make a trip there right now, maybe in the future!

A. Washington D.C. The National Gallery of art and the Hirshorn are my favorite. There are also museums of African art, Asian art, portrait, too many to list. See the link below to the Smithsonian museum. The bonus here is that the museums are free.

Where would I find those rub-on letters museums put on the walls? Is there a way I can print them out at home?
Q. I'm basically looking for a way to print out text that I can then place on my walls at home. Museums have a pretty elegant way of doing it, but I don't know how they do it. Do they just give "the new guy" the task of transfering letter-by-letter descriptions of the artwork? Or is there some way to print out a block of text and then transfer the whole thing to the wall at once? And where would I buy the necessary equipment to execute such transfers at home?

A. Try a graphic arts or art supply company. They are called Letraset or Chartpak letters. You apply them with a tool called a burnisher. Just lightly pencil a line, put down the paper with the letter on it and rub the letters on. Order online at I don't know if you can print the letters in blocks or have to do them one by one.

A. Your thinking of Notre Dame and Sacre Cour. These are still churches and it is a sign of disrespect not being fully clothed. It is the same with churches in most of European, particularly Roman Catholic churches.
