	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Museum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		There are governmental museums, non-governmental or non-profit museums, and privately-owned or family museums.
		Museums often cooperate to sponsor joint, often traveling, exhibits on particular subjects when one museum may not by itself have a collection sufficiently large or important.
		The word "museum" comes from the Latin museum, plural musea, which is in turn derived from the Greek mouseion, which refers to a place or temple dedicated to the Muses, the patron divinities in Greek mythology of the arts.

		With the formation of the Cirencester Excavation Committee in 1959, a programme of annual excavations in the town was begun, and the museum benefited by an enormous increase in material from the Roman and medieval town.
		As the numbers of museum visitors in the 1960s continued to increase, a bold new plan of development was conceived by the Urban District Council, initiated in 1971 and carried through to completion in 1974 by the successor authority, Cotswold District Council.
		Some of the many aims of the museum staff are the development of close links with other historical attractions in the town and surrounding area for both residents and visitors, and improved interpretation and educational resources.

	Cirencester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The town's Corinium Museum is well-known for its extensive Roman collection.
		When a wall was erected around the Roman city in the late second century, it enclosed 240 acres (1 km²), making Corinium, in area, the second-largest city in Britain.
		It was made the seat of the province Britannia Prima in the fourth century, and some historians would date the pillar the governor L. Septimus erected to the god Jovian to this period, providing evidence of a sign of pagan reaction under the Roman Emperor Julian.

		The town was likely among those visited by the emperor Hadrian during his trip to Britain in the early second century, and the tribal council marked his visit by building a macellum or covered market in the centre of their principal city.
		In the third century Corinium was surpassed in size only by Londinium, and covered in its heyday an area of 240 acres, its civic buildings and town houses being of an almost uniformly high standard, and also possessed of an impressive amphitheatre built outside the town defences.
		Corinium was located in an extremely favourable position in the highway system, and soon became the centre of the richest area of villa estates in Roman Britain, with numerous villas within a few miles and several temples within a days journey.

		The Corinium Museum is a small to medium-sized museum with a particularly fine collection of artefacts from the period of the Roman occupation of Britain.
		Co-existent with its political importance, Corinium was of outstanding importance as an artistic and cultural centre and was home to one of the finest schools of provincial sculpture in Roman Britain as well as containing the largest mosaic workshop.
		Physically, Corinium was a walled town with four main gates and 26 towers and the town inside was over 1 km in diameter.

		However, the arrival of the Romans and the growth of the new town of Corinium seems to correspond with decline at Bagendon.
		There were at least four gates in the encircling walls of Corinium through which the great Roman highway routes crossed in the centre of the Roman town, now indicated by the crossing from South Way to Tower Street where it cuts Lewis Lane.
		It was in the 4th century that Corinium seems to have been the centre of the general wealth of the Cotswolds and on the evidence available was probably the capital of the Province of Britannia Prima.
