Art museums are institutions dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition, and interpretation of works of art. These institutions typically house a diverse range of artworks, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, and decorative arts. Art museums may focus on specific time periods, regions, artistic movements, or individual artists, and they often serve as cultural and educational resources for the communities they serve. Museums may also offer programs such as lectures, workshops, guided tours, and special events to engage visitors and enhance their understanding and appreciation of art.
