Abstract :

Museology is the study of museums. Museums are scientific instituti¬ons, which has been playing a crucial role in our society. This paper attempts to iden¬tify the adequate position of museums in geology by emphasizing the ways in which geological museums helps geologists for a better understanding of the subject. The subject of geology involves a large number of things which are difficult to understand without seeing them. These includes crystal structures, fossils, geological structures such as fold, fault etc. Understanding of these geological things become easier by studing them in museums. Moreover, different types of rock samples, minerals or fossils collected from the field which are far away from us can be kept in our geological museums and we can study them at any time without going there. Thus, the role of geological museum is very significant in the society of geologists.
