A museum is a building or institution that houses and cares for a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. Early museums began as the private collections of wealthy individuals, families or institutions of art and rare or curious natural objects and artifacts. The museums of ancient times, such as the Musaeum of Alexandria, would be equivalent to a modern graduate institute. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Museums" How do two different museums obtain the same piece of art ? Q. This may seem like a dumb question (and I am personally ashamed for having to ask) but I saw the statue of the Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer at the Met in NYC and I know that it is also at other museums as well. Are they just replicas of the original? How do you know if it's the original? Did he do a lot of versions of it? I've always wondered that (about all of the artwork, not just Degas) Asked by Katie - Tue Aug 4 18:56:54 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Like the other person said, they lend their art. But some places do have replicas of the original. Usually the original isn't on display, for many reasons. If it is, it would be heavily guarded, and probably you wouldn't be allowed as close to it as with the replicas of the original.

Q. I am going to be going in the summer, I only need one room. I'm heading there to check out a college I want to go to and see some of the museums. Also how do I know where the subway runs and such?

Hostling International had a place right in the middle of downtown, smack dab in the center of everything. It's close to public transportation, Michigan Ave (Art Institute), and the other museums (Field Museusm, Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aqarium.) You can get a room there for less than $40 a night. And no, it's not some sleazy flophouse. Hostels are popular around the world, mostly with young backpackers who want to save their money for partying rather than a room they may spend a few hours a day in. There is a link below. As far as the subways, go to the Chicago Transit Authority website. They have a map showing subway/elevated train lines.
