throughexhibitsthat may be permanent or temporary.[1]Most large museums are located in major cities

throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. The

continuing acceleration in thedigitizationof information, combined with the increasing capacity ofdigital

information storage, is causing the traditional model of museums (i.e. as static collections of collections of

three-dimensional specimens and artifacts) to expand to includevirtual exhibitsand high-resolution images of

their collections for perusal, study, and exploration from any place with Internet.

Etymology

TheHermitage MuseuminSt. Petersburg

The English "museum" comes from theLatinword, and is pluralized as "museums" (or rarely, "musea"). It

is originally from theGreek(Mouseion), which denotes a place or temple dedicated to

theMuses(the patron divinities inGreek mythologyof the arts), and hence a building set apart for study

and the arts,[2]especially theMusum(institute) forphilosophyand research atAlexandriabyPtolemy I

Soterabout 280 BCE.[3]The first museum/libraryis considered to be the one

ofPlatoinAthens.[4]However, Pausanias gives another place called "Museum," namely a small hill in

Classical Athens opposite theAkropolis. The hill was called Mouseion after Mousaious, a man who used

to sing on the hill and died there of old age and was subsequently buried there as well .[5]

Hampton Court Palace, the great gatehouse.

Museum purposes change from institution to institution. Some favor education over conservation, or vice

versa. For example, in the 1970s, theCanada Science and Technology Museumfavored education overpreservation of their objects. They displayed objects as well as their functions. One exhibit featured a

historic printing press that a staff member used for visitors to create museum memorabilia.[6]Some seek

to reach a wide audience, such as a national or state museum, while some museums have specific

audiences, like the LDSChurch History Museumor local history organizations. Generally speaking,

museums collect objects of significance that comply with their mission statement for conservation and

display. Although most museums do not allow physical contact with the associated artifacts, there are

some that are interactive and encourage a more hands-on approach. In 2009,Hampton Court Palace,

palace ofHenry VIII, opened the council room to the general public to create an interactive environment

for visitors. Rather than allowing visitors to handle 500 year old objects, the museum created replicas, as

well as replica costumes. The daily activities, historic clothing, and even temperature changes immerse

the visitor in a slice of what Tudor life may have been .[7]

History

The museums of ancient times, such as theMusumof Alexandria, would be equivalent to a modern

graduate institute.

Museo Nacional de AntropologainMexico City

Early museums began as the private collections of wealthy individuals, families or institutions of art and

rare or curious natural objects andartifacts. These were often displayed in so-called wonder rooms

orcabinets of curiosities. Public access was often possible for the "respectable", especially to private art

collections, but at the whim of the owner and his staff. The oldest such museum in evidence

wasEnnigaldi-Nanna's museum, dating from c. 530 BC and devoted toMesopotamianantiquities; it

apparently had sufficient traffic as to warrantlabelsfor the ordered collection, although there is no source

for this information.

The oldest public museums in the world opened inRomeduring theRenaissance. However, many

significant museums in the world were not founded until the 18th century and the Age of Enlightenment:

theCapitoline Museums, the oldest public collection of art in the world, began in 1471 when Pope

Sixtus IVdonated a group of important ancient sculptures to the people of Rome.

theVatican Museums, the second oldest museum in the world, traces its origins to the public

displayed sculptural collection begun in 1506 byPope Julius II

theAmerbach Cabinet, originally a private collection, was bought by the university and city ofBaselin

1661 and opened to the public in 1671.

theRoyal Armouriesin theTower of Londonis the oldest museum in theUnited Kingdom. It opened

to the public in 1660, though there had been paying privileged visitors to the armouries displays from

1592. Today the museum has three sites including its new headquarters in Leeds.[8]

theMuse des Beaux-Arts et d'archologieinBesanonwas established in 1694 afterJean-Baptiste

Boisot, an abbot, gave his personal collection to the Benedictines of the city in order to create a

museum open to the public two days every week.[9]

theKunstkamerainSt. Petersburgwas founded in 1717 inKikin Halland officially opened to the

public in 1727 in theOld St. Petersburg Academy of Science Building

theBritish MuseuminLondon, was founded in 1753 and opened to the public in 1759.[10]Sir Hans

Sloane'spersonal collection of curios provided the initial foundation for the British Museum's

collection.[10]

theUffizi GalleryinFlorence, which had been open to visitors on request since the 16th century, was

be difficult to gain entrance. In London for example, prospective visitors to the British Museum had to

apply in writing for admission. Even by 1800 it was possible to have to wait two weeks for an admission

ticket.[citation needed]

Visitors in small groups were limited to stays of two hours.[citation needed]

InVictoriantimes

in England it became popular for museums to be open on a Sunday afternoon (the only such facility

allowed to do so) to enable the opportunity for "self-improvement" of the other - working - classes.[citation

needed]

The Ashmolean museum, however, founded in 1677 from the personal collection ofElias Ashmole,was set up in the University of Oxford to be open to the public and is considered by some to be the first

modern public museum.[12]

In France, the first public museum was theLouvre MuseuminParis,[citation needed] opened in 1793 during

theFrench Revolution, which enabled for the first time free access to the former French royal collections

for people of all stations and status. The fabulous art treasures collected by the French monarchy over

centuries were accessible to the public three days each "dcade" (the 10-day unit which had replaced the

week in theFrench Republican Calendar). The Conservatoire du musum national des Arts(National

Museum of Arts's Conservatory) was charged with organizing the Louvre as a national public museum

and the centerpiece of a planned national museum system. As Napolon Iconquered the great cities of

Europe, confiscating art objects as he went, the collections grew and the organizational task becamemore and more complicated. After Napoleon was defeated in 1815, many of the treasures he had

amassed were gradually returned to their owners (and many were not). His plan was never fully realized,

but his concept of a museum as an agent of nationalistic fervor had a profound influence throughout

Europe.

American museums eventually joined European museums as the world's leading centers for the

production of new knowledge in their fields of interest. A period of intense museum building, in both an

intellectual and physical sense was realized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (this is often called

"The Museum Period" or "The Museum Age"). While many American museums, both Natural History

museums and Art museums alike, were founded with the intention of focusing on the scientific discoveries

and artistic developments in North America, many moved to emulate their European counterparts in

certain ways (including the development of Classical collections from ancient Egypt, Greece,

Mesopotamia and Rome). Drawing onMichel Foucaults concept of liberal government,Tony Bennetthas

suggested the development of more modern 19th century museums was part of new strategies by

Western governments to produce a citizenry that, rather than be directed by coercive or external forces,

monitored and regulated its own conduct. To incorporate the masses in this strategy, the private space of

museums that previously had been restricted and socially exclusive were made public. As such, objects

and artifacts, particularly those related to high culture, became instruments for these new tasks of social

management.[13]Universitiesbecame the primary centers for innovative research in the United States

well before the start of theSecond World War. Nevertheless, museums to this day contribute new

knowledge to their fields and continue to build collections that are useful for both research and display.

[edit]Management

Vatican Museums

The roles associated with the management a museum largely depends on the size of the institution, but

every museum has a hierarchy of governance with aBoard of Trusteesserving at the top. The Director is

next in command and works with the Board to establish and fulfill the museums mission statement and to

ensure that the museum is accountable to the public.[14]Together, the Board and the Director establish a

good system of governance that is guided by various other documents such as an institutional or strategic

plan, institutional code of ethics, bylaws, and collections policy. TheAmerican Association of

Museums(AAM) has also formulated a series of standards and best practices that help guide the

management of museums. Unfortunately, many small, local museums lack this guidance since

accreditation with AAM requires a museum to operate on an annual budget of at least $25,000 .[15]

A change in leadership may ultimately effect changes at the museum, as new directors commonly have

new ideas for the institution they work for. While change and growth is often good for a museum, they

should not reach outside the original mission statement of the institution.

Miami Art MuseuminMiami,Florida

According to museum professionals Hugh H. Genoways and Lynne M. Ireland, Administration of the

organization requires skill in conflict management, interpersonal relations, budget management and

monitoring, and staff supervision and evaluation. Managers must also set legal and ethical standards and

maintain involvement in the museum profession.[16]

Various positions within the museum carry out the policies established by the Board and the Director.

These positions include but are not limited to curators, collections managers/registrars, public

programmers/educators, exhibition designers, and building operators. These positions and all other

employees should work together toward the museums institutional goal.

Curator research the collection and most often write the text labels for exhibitions. In largerinstitutions, there may be a curator assigned to each collection of objects the museum holds. Ex:

Curator of Modern Art, Curator of Natural History, Curator of History, etc.

Collections Management/Registrar responsible for the care and maintenance of all objects in the

museums collection, tracks movement of objects in and out of the museum on loan or on exhibition,

records information about objects in databases-such as an object'sprovenance. Registrars oversee

theaccessioningprocess, which formally accepts objects into the museum's collection with an

accession number and detailed record. Collections Managers and Registrars uphold the Collections

Policy, which guides what is and is not accepted into the museum collection.

Public Programmer/Educator creates programs for the public and designs interactives for

exhibitions. This position also oversees volunteers and docents at the museum. Depending on the

institution, educators may also research the collections and write text for exhibitions. Educators work

with the Board, Director, and Curator to ensure that the needs of the public are met as laid out in the

institutions mission statement.

Exhibition Designer designs and installs the exhibition under the supervision of the curator and

collections manager. They have the vital role of creating exhibition space that is navigable by the

visitor.

Building Operators oversee security and maintenance of the museum. In larger museums, buildingoperators will work with Collections Managers to maintain appropriate levels of temperature and

humidity which can affect the stability of the objects.[17]

The design of museums has evolved throughout history. Interpretive museums, as opposed to art

museums, have missions reflecting curatorial guidance through the subject matter which now include

content in the form of images, audio and visual effects, and interactive exhibits. Museum creation begins

with a museum plan, created through amuseum planningprocess. The process involves identifying themuseum's vision and the resources, organization and experiences needed to realize this vision. A

feasibility study, analysis of comparable facilities and aninterpretive planare all developed as part of the

museum planning process.

Some museum experiences have very few or no artifacts and do not necessarily call themselves

museums; theGriffith ObservatoryinLos Angelesand theNational Constitution CenterinPhiladelphia,

being notable examples where there are few artifacts, but strong, memorable stories are told or

information is interpreted. In contrast, theUnited States Holocaust Memorial MuseuminWashington,

D.C.uses many artifacts in their memorable exhibitions. Notably, despite their varying styles, the latter

two were designed byRalph Appelbaum Associates.

[edit]Exhibition designMain article:Exhibit design

Most mid-size and large museums employexhibit designstaff for graphic and environmental design

projects, including exhibitions. In addition to traditional 2-D and 3-D designers and architects, these staff

departments may include audio-visual specialists, software designers, audience research and evaluation

specialists, writers, editors, and preparators or art handlers. These staff specialists may also be charged

with supervising contract design or production services. The exhibit design process builds on

theinterpretive planfor an exhibit, determining the most effective, engaging and appropriate methods of

communicating a message or telling a story. The process will often mirror the architectural process or

schedule, moving from conceptual plan, through schematic design, design development, contractdocument, fabrication and installation. Museums of all sizes may also contract the outside services of

exhibit fabrication businesses. Predator Exhibits, located in Ontario, Canada, is one such business.

Exhibition design has as multitude of strategies, theories, and methods but two that embody much of the

theory and dialogue surrounding exhibition design are the metonymy technique and the use of authentic

artifacts to provide the historical narrative. Metonymy, or "the substitution of the name of an attribute or

adjunct for that of the thing meant,"[18]is a technique used by many museums but few as heavily and as

influentially as Holocaust museums. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.,

for example, employs this technique in its shoe exhibition. Simply a pile of decaying leather shoes piled

against a bare, gray concrete wall the exhibit relies heavily on the emotional, sensory response the

viewer will naturally through this use metonymic technique. This exhibition design intentionally signifiesmetonymically the nameless and victims themselves. This metaphysical link to the victims through the

deteriorating and aged shoes stands as a surviving vestige of the individual victim. This technique,

employed properly, can be a very powerful one as it plays off the real life experiences of the viewer while

evoking the equally unique memory of the victim. Metonymy, however, Jennifer Hansen-Glucklich argues,

is not without its own problems. Hansen-Glucklich explains, "...when victims possessions are collected

according to type and displayed en masse they stand metonymically for the victims themselves ... Such a

use of metonymy contributes to the dehumanization of the victims as they are reduced to a heap of

use the homes to display the architecture and artistic objects.[27]Because historic homes have often

existed through different generations and have been passed on from one family to another, volunteers

and professionals also must decide which historical narrative to tell their visitors. Some museums grapple

with this issue by displaying different eras in the homes history within different rooms or sections of the

structure. Others choose one particular narrative, usually the one deemed most historically significant,

and restore the home to that particular period.

[edit]History museums

Museum of the Filipino People,Manila, Philippines.

History museumscover the knowledge ofhistoryand its relevance to the present and future. Some cover

specialized curatorial aspects of history or a particular locality; others are more general. Such museums

contain a wide range of objects, including documents, artifacts of all kinds, art, archaeological

objects.Antiquities museumsspecialize in more archaeological findings.

A common type of history museum is ahistoric house. A historic house may be a building of specialarchitectural interest, the birthplace or home of a famous person, or a house with an interesting

history.Historic sitescan also become museums, particularly those that markpublic crimes, such asTuol

Sleng Genocide MuseumorRobben Island. Another type of history museum is aliving museum. A living

museum is where people recreate a time period to the fullest extent, including buildings, and language. It

is similar tohistorical reenactment.

[edit]Living history museums

Main article:Living museum

Living history museums recreate historical settings to simulate past time periods, providing visitors with an

experiential interpretation of history.[28]These museums feature reconstructions of particular time periods

and/or locations and are staffed by historical site interpreters who often reflect the time period. To reflect

the time period, interpreters use costumes, period speech, and character impersonations while

performing daily tasks and crafts of the period. These museums have found particular popularity in the

United States and Canada.[29]

TheCanadian War Museum

Military museums specialize in military histories; they are often organized from a national point of view,

where a museum in a particular country will have displays organized around conflicts in which that

country has taken part. They typically include displays ofweaponsand other military equipment,uniforms,

wartimepropagandaand exhibits on civilian life during wartime, anddecorations, among others. A

military museum may be dedicated to a particular or area, such as the Imperial War Museum Duxfordfor

militaryaircraft,Deutsches Panzermuseumfortanksor theInternational Spy Museumfor espionage,The

National World War I MuseumforWorld War Ior more generalist, such as theCanadian War Museumor

theMuse de l'Arme.

[edit]Mobile museums

Mobile museum is a term applied to museums that make exhibitions from a vehicle, such as a van.

Some institutions, such asSt. Vital Historical Societyand theWalker Art Center, use the term to refer to a

portion of their collection that travels to sites away from the museum for educational purposes. Other

mobile museums have no "home site", and use travel as their exclusive means of presentation.

Whetted your appetite? The National Coffee Museum is currently

under construction in Kafa and is expected to open in 2013. Along

with the museum, a ranger station and information center will be built

on the compound.

Coffee Museum in Santos, SPThe Cafe, or Cafeteria, at theCoffee Museumhas tables in the classy museum lounge and a more casual

area (photo) for a quick coffee and snack. The cafe sells gifts and special coffees from different areas

in Brazil that can be toasted on the spot.

Santos launched contests to choose the official city dish and candy. The winning dish - Meca

Santista - consists of grilled meca fish with lime juice, butter and herbs and can be found at many of

the city's seafood restaurants.

The winning candy, called Doce Caf, or Sweet Coffee, can be found at the Cafe at the Coffee

Museum. It's shaped like a little brick with a chocolate coffee bean on top and made of Belgian

Gianduia truffle and Brazilian coffee

The Coffee Museum at the Official Coffee Exchange in the port city of Santos, So Paulo, is not theonly museum dedicated to coffee in Brazil, but it features unique architecture and attractions. Built in

the 1920s, it is one of the buildings that can be seen on the vintage streetcar tour of the historic

downtown area.

The tour is brief about 15 minutes and costs less than $1. It runs every 30 minutes and is open

year-round. The starting point is in front of Jos Bonifcio Palace, the Santos City Hall. After the tour

is over, you can walk back to the Museum and visit.

Animal-pulled streetcars started being used in Santos in 1871. The first electric streetcar came from

Scotland in 1909. In 1971, the city discontinued the use of streetcars and the one now running in the

downtown area had been abandoned for years before it went through a year-long restoration process

and inaugurated in 2000.

A visit to Santos is one of the best day trips from So Paulo, state capital. It takes just one hour fromthe Jabaquara bus terminal, in So Paulo, to the Santos bus terminal, which is a ten-minute walk

away from the Coffee Museum - and buses run between the two cities at short intervals throughout

the day.

The Official Coffee Exchange opened in 1914, when coffee was Brazils main source of wealth. On

September 7, 1922, as part of the celebrations of the Brazilian Independence Centennial, the Coffee

Palace Palcio do Caf was inaugurated, unfinished.

Alterations of the original project during construction, the excellence of the professionals involved andthe use of luxury materials took their toll on the budget and called for three loans. But the building

fulfilled its purpose to assert, in a grand way, the importance of coffee to the Brazilian economy.

Companhia Construtora de Santos, founded by Roberto Cochrane Simonsen, was the company

responsible for construction. The building's outstanding features include a 120-ft tall clock tower and

the statues above the main entrance (photo).

To the right of "Bolsa Official de Caf", Ceres, goddess of agriculture, looks out to sea and watches as

Brazilian coffee departs to international markets. To her right, Mercury, god of commerce, looks at the

city of Santos as it grows - the closest end of a trail of development that would raise So Paulo state

and particularly the capital, So Paulo, to the forefront of Brazilian economy.

Restoration of the Coffee Palace was concluded in 1998, as part of the revitalization of the downtown

area. Outside the museum, on Rua XV de Novembro, or November 15th Street, the coffee theme is

present in the decorative coffee bean pattern of the boulevard pavement.

The area around the museum thrives on Friday nights, when bars and snack bars have tables outside

and bands play live. However, on a Sunday afternoon such as the one when this photo was taken,

when most businesses are closed and a lot of people are on the beach toasting in the sun, the streets

are quite empty. It is advisable to walk around in a group.

The central symbol on the imported marble floor of the Trading Room at the Coffee Museumbears the

initials for Bolsa Official de Caf, or Official Coffee Exchange.

Flashes cannot be used to photograph the Trading Room and it takes adequate lenses to get a goodshot. Afull view of the trading room, available in the Museum's photo gallery, shows the 81 chairs and the

table made ofjacaranda, a noble neotropical wood.

One of the walls is taken by the triptychThe Foundation of Santos, painted by Benedicto Calixto (1853-

1927), one of the greatest painters in the history of So Paulo State. Founder Braz Cubas is portrayed

in the middle panel.

The Coffee Palace was the site of the Coffee Exchange until 1950, long after theCrash of 1929had

deeply affected coffee production in Brazil.

As the country's coffee industry recovered, new regions emerged as coffee growing areas. Today,

Minas Gerais is the country's largest coffee producer. But some of thebest coffee in Brazilstill comes

from So Paulo.

On the Museum's second floor, permanent and temporary exhibits help learners discover the history of

coffee in Brazil.

In early 2008, the Museum held an exhibit honoring theCentennial of the Japanese Immigration in Brazil. The

official start of Japanese immigration in Brazil can be dated practically down to the minute, as the ship

Kasato Maru docked in Santos at about 5pm on June 18, 1908, bringing the first 781 immigrants who

signed up for the Japan-Brazil immigration program and 12 independent travelers. Today, Brazil has

the largest Nikkei (Japanese and descendants) community outside Japan, with about 1,500,000

people.

According to theCoffee Museum, 2,122,273 immigrants 935,222 of whom were Italian - arrived in So

Paulo State to work on coffee plantations between 1875 and 1930.

The internal garden is limited by this coffee-colored wall that is marked by nine trees which divide it

into 10 equal spaces: ten decades of the century that symbolize the life and the achievements of

Cimbali Group. The museum area offers an exposition divided into six historical periods from the

beginning of the 20th century to the present:

The area called The early years is characterized by a suspended ceiling and posters from Art

Deco period. The exhibition of The age of rationalism includes a severe fascist colonnade and

strict grid of orthogonal lines identifies the layout of the marble display stands.

In the area dedicated to the culture of the 50s and 60s (Invention of the lever) the visitor can find a

reconstruction of a bar and an entirely cantilevered structure that supports the machines of the

period where thanks to cleverly positioned mirrors, visitors can enjoy both sides of these wonderful

machines.
