अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संग्रहालय दिवस 2020: संग्रहालय शब्द कहां से आता है; दुनिया भर के कुछ दिलचस्प संग्रहालयों पर एक नज़र

ख़बरगढ़ रिपोर्ट

संग्रहालय, ज्ञान के अंतिम भंडार, का उच्च इतिहास होने के साथ-साथ उच्च संस्कृति और बौद्धिक स्नोबेरी से जुड़ा होने का इतिहास है। हममें से अधिकांश लोग तुरंत शब्द को लिंक करते हैं ”संग्रहालय“एक जगह के साथ आप केवल स्कूल से शैक्षिक भ्रमण पर जाते हैं और इसके तुरंत बाद इसे एक बार-जीवन भर की स्मृति के रूप में पारित करते हैं, जो कहीं न कहीं एक खजाने की छाती में बंद है।

Etymology Porn of the Day: Museum

Museum /myo͞oˈzēəm/

(As defined by Webster's) an institution devoted to the procurement, care, study, and display of objects of lasting interest or value American Museum of Natural History also : a place where objects are exhibited an art museum

Derived from Greek Mouseion, derived from Mousa and Latin Museum ( and used rarely Musaeum) Mouseion literally means shrine of muses. In ancient Greece it was any place devoted to learning and the arts.

The word derives from the very first museum center of its kind, the Library of Alexandria (founded around 280 BC) and in Greek life anything that involves each of the arts and sciences was held as sacred.

So there you have it, the etymology of the word Museum, and please feel free to visit some of your favorite of the 9 muses in a museum near you!

A performance in Athens

On a lovely spring day I climbed the Mouseion hill in Athens, all among the olive trees, to see the celestial view of the Parthenon from its summit.  The morning smelt delectably of pines, flowers and dust, and my mind was full of Hellenic glories.  Halfway up a Greek sprang from the bushes, opened his macintosh wide and revealed to me his manly equipment.  Well, I supposed, why not?  Greek art had been displaying masculine glories for a few thousand years, and for that matter the sentries outside the royal palace, down in the city, were something of a disappointment to one of romantic fancy.
