British MuseumMuseums and Art Galleries

 

An art gallery or art museum is a building or space for the exhibition of art, usually visual art. Museums can be public or private, but what distinguishes a museum is the ownership of a collection.

Museums collect and care for objects of scientific, artistic, or historical importance and make them available for public viewing through exhibits  that may be permanent or temporary. Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside.
