Museums




People can explore collections in museums for ideas, knowledge, and enjoyment. They are institutions that gather, preserve, and make available specimens and artifacts that they maintain in trust for societies.

When it comes to educating future generations, museums and other cultural institutions will always be necessary. 
In addition to developing a respect for cultural institutions, visitors to art museums are more inclined to use the museums as a resource for lifelong learning in the arts.
Museums not only help to bring history to life, but they also provide a unique window into the past, the present, and the future.

The Castle's body is a long collection of horizontal and vertical surfaces that rise upward in the form of four stick-like p
