• The problematics of collecting and display, part 1.

Museums have begun to rethink the way they acquire and display art objects and artifacts from other cultures since this displacement removes the objects from their original and meaningful contexts. For example, the works of Native Americans were collected in the early colonial periods with little regard for the religious value of these objects if only to satisfy the white man's curiosity. Some museums have also initiated efforts to return these objects and learn from the manner in which they are restored in a community that values the works.

• The Musaeum of Alexandria and the formation of the 'Museum' in eighteenth-century France.

The word 'museum' was derived from a unique vocabulary of architectural design used in the construction of the Hellenistic Musaeum of Alexandria during the 3rd century, BC. The Musaeum was handled by a group of literary and scientific scholars who received support from the Ptolemies. The reputation of the Musaeum as a venue of knowledge and learning spread through the centuries and became a common subject of interest to France scholars during the early 17th century. Eventually, the Latin term 'musaeum' was used in early modern France to describe a group of scholars dedicated to the study of the arts and sciences.
