GUJARAT MUSEUMS: PRESENT SITUATION AND USEFULNESS IN SOCIAL LEARNING

Dr. Rashmika S Dhumal

Abstract :

The museums have to carry intention to play a lively role not only in collecting  and  preserving  the  art  and  culture  of  a  particular  region  or community but also in presenting the social and cultural development of mankind by way of exhibiting the original evidence of man’s creative genius and his control over nature. Thus, in the modern context museum ceases to be personal passion and becomes a public property that a culture or community holds as general possession and people of that land or community may derive benefits from it.

 

The concept of museum marks a clear shift from personal to public and museums today are no more personal collection but public organization of art of culture.  Museum in this new sense becomes movement. It is something that moves ahead and pushes forth to progress. It becomes movement through purpose of education. Museums in India operate today as active movement. Museums in general are considering improvement and they seek earnestly to achieve them.  It can be said that “a museum profession is in the process of formation”.
