Museums in Australia A
treasure house of relics and culture, the term "Museum"
derives from the Greek word "Mouseion", which
refers to a place that is dedicated to the 'Muses'.
The dictionary defines the term "museum" as
a place or an institution which collects, preserves
and exhibits materials and evidences of the past, which
has historic, artistic or scientific significance, for
the benefit of the community as a whole.
The museums
in Australia live up to this purpose. There are several
museums in the country of Australia. While some of them
specialize in either artistic or historic or scientific
curios, there are also others that house a combination
of all these articles. There are also museums that are
solely dedicated to the culture and history of the original
people of Australia - the Aboriginals.
As much of Aboriginal
life faded after the arrival of the European settlers,
steps have been taken to preserve their culture and
heritage. Given that Australian history is divided into
two parts: the Aboriginal and the European settlement;
there is much that the country needs to preserve.
