Have you ever wondered what lies within a museum? Naturally, this is the question we all ask ourselves before any visit: what will I see? What are my expectations? Will there be something beautiful or interesting? Perhaps we’ve already skimmed through a book or brochure and have some idea of what to expect, maybe even a planned route. However, the point often missed isn’t in the first answer we all give ourselves.

Certainly, a museum is a collection of rooms filled with various objects—be they paintings, archaeological artifacts, sculptures, photographs, design works, or tools and crafts. It’s a journey to embark upon, a place to discover things. But the crux of the matter lies right there.
