Museums

According to the definition of the International Council of Museums, a museum is a non-profit institution that collects, stores, investigates and exhibits the material and immaterial testimonies of people and their environment. A museum is open to the public and provides information about the collection for study, education and recreation. Below you will find examples of organizations involved in the work of museums. The websites of these organizations usually provide tabs and links to "Topics" or "Themes", "Publications", or "Documents" or "Research". This is where you will often discover reports and more information.
