museumsDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, searchFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A museum is a building or institution that houses and cares for a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, or historical importance and makes 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. Early museums began as the private collections of wealthy individuals, families or institutions of art and rare or curious natural objects and artifacts. The museums of ancient times, such as the Musaeum of Alexandria, would be equivalent to a modern graduate institute. From Wikipedia under the

What have you found to be the most effective ways for Museums to promote themselves? Q. How have you found Museums to be successful in promoting their upcoming exhibitions?

The museum and the art community have a strong link. Cross marketing has been successful and an inexpensive way to work. Eg. Museum puts their leaflets at the theatres. And lets the theatre put their leaflets in the museum. That way, they promote each other's services without costing anything. The link could be similarly used for websites. Also, to tap on each other's data base for direct mailing. Answered by Irene Z - Tue Nov 13 23:16:25 2007 What are the coolest museums in New York City?
Q. I saw on TV a long time ago a museum in the City that featured contemporary art, music, etc. where people could interact with the mediums and whatnot. The whole atmosphere felt very chill and relaxed. It might've been in Brooklyn. If anyone could narrow it down for me and identify possible places which fit this description, that'd be great. While you're at it, also suggest other cool museums! Thanks. Asked by adrian f - Fri Aug 25 23:51:28 2006 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have no idea which museum you are talking about but found this list, maybe you can figure it out from there? Looks like they have some really cool looking obscure ones: I visited NYC a year ago Christmas and it was way too cold for this California girl so I spent a lot of time in the nice warm museums. The Metropolitan was beautiful, I was there for 7 hrs and I don't think I even saw 1/4 of the stuff. The Museum of Natural History was much the same way - 6 hrs and I barely touched all the stuff in there. The Guggenheim was great too and not quite as intimidating, more modern looking. Get there early the minute they open and avoid the weekends, the crowds can get pretty unbelievable.
