Museum

A museum is an institution dedicated to displaying and preserving culturally or scientifically significant objects. The cited article says many museums have exhibitions of these objects on public display, and some have non-exhibited collections that are used by researchers and specialists. Museums hold a wide range of objects and often focus on a particular theme, such as the arts, science, natural history or local history, and museums that host exhibitions and interactive demonstrations are often tourist attractions that draw large numbers of visitors from outside their host country. Buildings recorded in the atlas as museums are grouped under this concept.
