Art Museums

 
Art museums exhibit art. They may be private or public, and they display art that they own or art that they borrow from elsewhere. No art is sold at museums. They often contain many famous artworks, especially in the major cities of the world. Public galleries are part of these museums. They are a good place for the artist to study the technique and style of different artists. Exhibits change from time to time to feature new artists.

Museums preserve art from earlier eras. They provide proper lighting, humidity, and temperature so that the paintings do not deteriorate. Museums also provide security. Paintings by famous artists must be in securely-locked exhibition cases. Some of these museums require guards and alarms to protect the artwork.
