The Museums Association in 1998 agreed on a definition for the word "museums".
Museums enable people to explore collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment.
"They are institutions that collect, safeguard and make accessible artefacts and specimens, which they hold in trust for society."
This definition includes art galleries with collections of works of art, as well as museums with historical collections of objects.
