The concept of the museum is today-yesterday. As early as the 3rd century, the practice of hoarding things was in vogue. The museum has a very ancient history. The English equivalent of the word 'museum' is 'museum'. It comes from the Greek word 'Latin' which means 'seat' of the goddess 'Muse'. The first museum in the world was a museum in the Egyptian capital of Tel-El-Armoon which was a model. It was built as a museum. This is the era of museums, which is more essential than ever for museums not to shape the cultural landscape of a rapidly changing world. The famous Oxford Dictionary defines the word museum as a building in which important or interesting objects are exhibited. Another more extensive definition is: Museums are organizations with the purpose of collecting and preserving (including nurturing) materials related to history, the arts, folk customs, industry, natural science etc. exhibiting them, providing them for use by general public on the basis of educational contribution to education, necessary work in order to contribute to education, research, correction etc. and in addition undertaking surveys and research relating to these materials (Present Status of Museum in Japan). This definition states that the main purpose of museums is education, research and entertainment. A museum is a place where different types of ancient objects like knowledge, artistic, cultural and historical records are collected and exhibited separately.
