displayed art objects;

furniture,textiles, costume, drawings, pastel,
watercolors, collages, prints, artists'
books, photographs, and installation art are
also regularly shown.

with providing a space to show
works of visual art, art galleries
are sometimes used to host other
artistic activities, such
as performance art, music
concerts, or poetry readings.

6. Public Galleries
are non-profit or publicly owned museums
that display selected collections of art of
specific areas.
TYPES

7. The term contemporary art
gallery refers usually to a
privately owned for-profit
commercial gallery. These
galleries are often found clustered
together in large urban centers.
CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY

8. Contemporary art galleries are
usually open to the general public
without charge; however, some
are semi-private. They usually
profit by taking a portion of art
sales; from 25% to 50% is typical.

9. Galleries that often hang solo
shows. Galleries also that
sometimes choose to represent
artists exclusively, giving them
the opportunity to show regularly.

10. A vanity gallery is an art gallery that
charges fees from artists in order to show
their work. The shows are not legitimately
curated and will frequently or usually
include as many artists as possible. Most
art professionals are able to identify them
on an artist's resume.

universities.
UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUMS
AND GALLERIES

12. The first of these collections can
be traced back to learning
collections developed in art
academies in Western Europe,
they are now most often
associated with and housed in
centers of higher education of all
types.

13. HISTORY

14. Throughout history, large and
expensive works of art have generally
been commissioned by religious
institutions and monarchs and been
displayed in temples, churches
and palaces.
Although these collections of art
were private, they were often made
available for viewing for a portion of
the public.

15. In classical times, religious
institutions began to function as an
early form of art gallery. Wealthy
Roman collectors of engraved
gems (including Julius Caesar) and
other precious objects often donated
their collections to temples.
It is unclear how easy it was in
practice for the public to view these
items.

16. Privately established
museums open to the public
began to be established from
the 17th century onwards, often
based around a collection of
the cabinet of curiosities type.

17. LIBRARIES
L

18. A library's collection can
include books, periodicals,
newspapers, manuscripts, films,
maps, prints, documents,
microform, CDs, cassettes, videotap
es,DVDs, Blu-ray
Discs, ebooks, audiobooks, databas
es, and other formats.

19.  A library is a collection of sources of
information and similar resources,
made accessible to a defined
community for reference or
borrowing.
 It provides physical or digital
access to material, and may be
a physical building or room, or a
virtual space, or both.

20.  In Latin and Greek, the idea
of book is represented
by Bibliotheca and Bibliothēkē (
Greek: βιβλιοθήκη): derivatives
of these mean library in many
modern languages, e.g.
French bibliothèque.

21.  The first libraries consisted
of archives of the earliest form of
writing, the clay
tablets in cuneiform
script discovered in Sumer, some
dating back to 2600 BC.

22. A library is organized for use and maintained
by a public body, an institution, a
corporation, or a private individual.
Public and institutional collections and
services may be intended for use by people
who choose not to—or cannot afford to—
purchase an extensive collection
themselves, who need material no individual
can reasonably be expected to have, or who
require professional assistance with their
research.

23. In addition to providing materials, libraries
also provide the services of librarians who
are experts at finding and organizing
information and at interpreting information
needs.
Modern libraries are increasingly
being redefined as places to get
unrestricted access to information in
many formats and from many
sources.

24. They are extending services beyond
the physical walls of a building, by
providing material accessible by
electronic means, and by providing
the assistance of librarians in
navigating and analyzing very large
amounts of information with a
variety of digital tools.

25. ARCHIVE
S
A

26. Etymology
First attested in English in early 17th century, the
word archive /ˈɑːrkaɪv/ is derived from the
French archives (plural), in turn
from Latin archīum or archīvum, which is
the Romanized form of the Greek
ἀρχεῖον (arkheion), "public records, town-hall,
residence, or office of chief magistrates", itself
from ἀρχή (arkhē), amongst others "magistracy,
office, government“ (compare an-archy, mon-
archy), which comes from the verb ἄρχω (arkhō),
"to begin, rule, govern".

27. A place where documents and other
materials of public or historical
interest are preserved
Those documents which no longer
have an everyday use, yet have been
kept because of their historical value
Archive are what we call primary
evidence- the raw material used by
all kinds of researchers to find out
about the past

28. It is an accumulation of historical
records or the physical place
they are located
Without archives there will be no
real sense of history.

29. Archival Science
The study and practice of organizing,
preserving, and providing access to
information and materials in archives
Archivist
A person who works in archives
Finding Aids
a document containing detailed
information about the collections within an
archive

30. How are archives identified or
selected?
The process is known as records
appraisal. It involves analysis of entire
body of records from which archives are to
be selected, resulting in a considerable
judgment that certain records have enough
value to warrant the considerable and
continuing expenditures of funds to house
and preserve them.

31. Importance
 To learn about the history
 To help us understand who we are and
how we can came to be the way we are-
both as community and as individual
 For evidential reasons
 For education and learning
 For personal reasons that affects
individuals’ lives today
 Contributes to accountable government

33. The English "museum" comes from
the Latin word, and is pluralized as
"museums" (or rarely, "musea"). It is
originally from the Ancient Greek
Μουσεῖον (Mouseion), which denotes
a place or temple dedicated to
the Muses (the patron divinities
inGreek mythology of the arts), and
hence a building set apart for study
and the arts.

34. A museum (/mjuˈziːəm/; myoo-zee-
um) is an institution that cares
for (conserves) acollection of artifacts
and other objects
of artistic, cultural, historical,
or scientific importance and makes
them available for public viewing
through exhibits that may be
permanent or temporary.

35. The city with the largest
number of museums
is Mexico City with over 128
museums. According to The
World Museum Community,
there are more than 55,000
museums in 202 countries

36. The first museum/library is
considered to be the one
of Plato in Athens.

37. PURPOSES
The purpose of modern museums
is to collect, preserve, interpret,
and display items of artistic,
cultural, or scientific significance
for the education of the public.

38. The purpose can also
depend on one’s point of
view.
Museums are, above all,
storehouses of different
knowledge.

39. Museum purposes vary
from institution to
institution. Some favor
education over
conservation, or vice versa.

40. “All museums display objects that
are important to a culture. To see
the thing itself, with one’s own
eyes and in a public place,
surrounded by other people having
some version of the same
experience can be enchanting."
Steven Conn
[historian]
