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" Where would I find those rub-on letters museums put on the walls? Is there a way I can print them out at home? Q. I'm basically looking for a way to print out text that I can then place on my walls at home. Museums have a pretty elegant way of doing it, but I don't know how they do it. Do they just give "the new guy" the task of transfering letter-by-letter descriptions of the artwork? Or is there some way to print out a block of text and then transfer the whole thing to the wall at once? And where would I buy the necessary equipment to execute such transfers at home? Asked by charlie - Tue Dec 20 15:57:46 2005 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Try a graphic arts or art supply company. They are called Letraset or Chartpak letters. You apply them with a tool called a burnisher. Just lightly pencil a line, put down the paper with the letter on it and rub the letters on. Order online at I don't know if you can print the letters in blocks or have to do them one by one.

Some of the animals are too wild to feed but one thing that Gentry has that most other places do not is that they have wild animals that you can pet. Sometimes it is baby bears, sometimes baby tigers, it just depends on what they have out. It is called Wild Wilderness Safari. Then there is Cosmic Cavern in Berryville; Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Crossett; Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks in Fayetteville; an elephant sactuary in Greenbrier; their is a riverboat in Hot Springs and North Little Rock; Little Rock and Hackett both have a zoo; and there is the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad that has stops in Springdale, Van Buren, Fort Smith, and Winslow.
