Around the World in Eight Weeks: Museums

Museums can be huge, covering a wide range of subjects, or very small places dedicated to one specific subject, location, or person. Museum categories include: fine arts (art created for beauty rather than practicality), archaeology (study of past human life), history, science, technology (methods used to solve problems, e.g. creation of machinery), children's museums, natural history, botanical (flower) and zoological gardens. And these are only the big categories.
