about museums, Galleries, and the Fine Arts

In the modern world, there are many different kinds of museums and galleries. Museums and galleries are not sacred places, and not all museums and galleries are devoted to the muses, to fine art, or even to any form of art. For example, there are museums of natural history, technology, archeology, radio, toys, sports, collectibles, even classic automobiles—the list goes on and on. In a sense, even a planetarium or aquarium is a museum, even the Internet.

Moreover, many museums that are dedicated to one or more of the arts are not dedicated to fine art at all or are not dedicated for fine art exclusively, but merely contain objects of fine art interspersed with other objects; or they may contain wings or sections, each devoted to fine art, along with wings devoted to other kinds of objects. Many fine arts collections are housed in private homes, some even in warehouses.

Clearly, classifying fine arts museums and galleries is a tricky business. When it comes to classifying, The Muse Of Fine Art has taken a broad view of what it means to be a museum or gallery of fine art. When it comes to the fine arts, The Muse stresses inclusiveness rather than its opposite. The Muse defines Fine Arts museums or galleries as anything or anyplace that is a repository of fine art. Museums and galleries that fit this description are not limited to those that specialize in objects of fine art.

technical aspects of the fine arts
