What is a museum? Museum is a building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited. (Oxford Online Dictionary)
What is a modern museum? Modern museums do not simply store or exhibit the objects and wait for the visitors. They bring those items to people by means of modern technology.
