Book Description
About the Book
The Latin word 'museum' is derived from the Greek word 'museion' in which it means a temple dedicated to the Muses, or the Greek goddesses of the arts and sciences. This word 'museum' is thus the most apt word for the modern storehouses of the works of nature and man in their diverse ramifications, though they do no longer connote the sense of a temple for worship as the original word did. In modern times, however, the concept of a museum has widened. It has risen above the level of ajavabghars. Its purpose now is to stimulate curiosity, pleasure and even awe by con frontation with the works of nature and man. It has become a cultural centre where activities of all kinds that serve to widen mind's horizons and ennoble the spirit centred around diverse artefacts of man and nature takes place. When the word 'museum' is so much talked about, the discussion about its history, working, maintenance and its role in the day-to-day life of a common man becomes imperative. This book delves deep in dealing all these aspects. growth of museums in India, the curator and his training, documentation, conservation and its legal aspects, role of museums in education, display or presentation of exhibits and museums and festivals of India.
