What is a museum?

Challenging thought! I have visited museums for years, initially as one who went 'because it was the thing to do in Paris' or embarrassingly 'it's raining outside'. Now I am a 'trained' professional in the field meaning I have studied the history and practice of museums in self-named developed countries. What I want this blog and website to bring is a place for people who love museums, either as people who get paid for it, volunteer or visit. Are there any other places like this out on the Internet? I hope to deliver something different, new websites, new museums and a place of discovery for us all.
