A heritage museum is an institution dedicated to preserving, displaying, and interpreting objects, artifacts, and stories significant to a community’s history and traditions. Heritage museums often focus on local culture and historical events, aiming to promote public understanding and appreciation of cultural heritage. The exhibits may include photographs, documents, and artifacts relevant to a region’s identity.

The three types of heritage are cultural heritage, natural heritage, and intangible heritage. Cultural heritage includes monuments, buildings, and artifacts created by human societies; natural heritage comprises landscapes, wildlife, and ecosystems; intangible heritage covers traditions, languages, and performing arts passed down through generations.

Things kept in a museum are called artifacts, exhibits, or collections. Artifacts are objects of historical or cultural significance, while exhibits refer to the presentations of these items, and collections denote the groupings of museum-held objects. These terms encompass artworks, fossils, documents, and other preserved items.
