"Unless time traveling is made possible anytime soon, the only way that we can “travel” back in time is to step inside a Museum."
What is a Museum?
We can agree a definition of a 'Museum' as any institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural, or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For those who want a comprehensive journey to the milestones of mankind all over the world, visiting the oldest museums we have today is imperative. Aside from archaeological discoveries, museums will also introduce you to the artists that have made a huge impact in our lives. From paintings to sculptures to other inspiring items, the things you will learn from these museums can rival anything you might possibly pick from a semester of World/Art History.
