Museum is a Greek word and means the house of the Muses. For a modern person, this is an institution where historical monuments are studied and carefully preserved, as well as where educational activities are carried out.

For a long time, any collection of some things was considered a museum. Years later, this concept began to include buildings, structures in which the exhibits themselves were located.

The prototype of the first modern museum appeared in 290 BC. in Alexandria, and it was called Museion. There were many rooms in the room, one even survived to this day - this is the room of the Alexandria Library. There were also reading rooms, rooms for eating and other premises in the museum.

There were such premises in which objects of art and culture were accumulated in Ancient Greece.

Most modern museums were created on the basis of a private collection. Celebrities and wealthy people often donated and are still transmitting collections in our time, with the aim of putting it on public display, replenishing it and making it more interesting and richer. Patrons often become sponsors of the process of collecting works of art, providing assistance to museums and replenishing the collection with unique and interesting exhibits. Over time, small collections were combined into large ones, creating modern museums. The first museum, in the form familiar to us today, was opened in London in 1753, it was the British Museum, which required written permission to visit. For general and public visits, the museum was created a little later, such was the Louvre in 1793.
