A palavra museu deriva do grego museion que significa “templo das musas”, as nove deusas da mitologia grega filhas de Zeus e de Mnemosine, protectoras das artes e das ciências e em especial da filosofia, da música e da poesia.

...”Museums are strange. They're dead, they're alive. They're graveyards, shrines and storage rooms. Nothing much happens there on the face of it. Usually you go alone; mostly you're silent, almost invisible -- although you never completely disappear. You walk in, drift around, pause here and there in front of inanimate objects, look, tell yourself things -- and then you experience rapture, your world changes or you decide to change the world. Then you leave, or rather, you return from wherever you've been. It's like visiting another continent”...(JERRY SALTZ, The Museum as Muse: Artists Reflect, Village Voice N.Y. 1999).
Na segunda metade do século XX, o museu vê essa sua função de arrecadação ou repositório de obras acrescida da função de local de inspiração, experimentação e actividade artística. (S)
