	ArtLex on Museums
		Museums are seen to be educational instruments for the systematic organization and presentation of artistic and natural phenomena.
		The museum stands in contrast to the Kunstkabinette and Kunstkammer, or cabinet and chamber of curiosities, of the Renaissance, where odd and wondrous rarities were brought together for private contemplation and pleasure.
		Museums operate under the leadership of a board of trustees, who oversee the activities of a director, a person who in turn supervises the work of curators, preparators, registrars, librarians, security guards, and others.

	History of The Louvre -- Part 1 of 5: Art in Context
		The story of the museum is a complex one, which embraces the story of the palace: of the kings, queens, and commoners who built it; were conceived, lived, conspired, and died in it; fled it and decorated it.
		The museum's story is also the history of all museums and embraces the very notion of what we call art: the process by which the guardian lion of a Mesopotamian temple ends up in a glass cage bathed in French sunlight--or the picture of a self-possessed Florentine lady hangs behind a vertical, glass-fronted bunker.
		For example, the Louvre's palatial halls, literally teeming with visionary manifestations of talent, and of faith, fear, and the hope of Heaven, elicit curiosity, admiration, and the awe of viewers.

		If a museum Website is truly to serve the needs of its on-line audience (an audience that for many museums easily outnumbers their physical visitors), museum Webmasters must have at least as much data about their on-line visitors as museum educators and curators have about their face-to-face visitors.
		Museum directors must understand that information technology is not an end in and of itself, and that a successful IT implementation depends not so much on having the latest, greatest technology as it does on assessing, analyzing, and meeting user needs.

		The Louvre said the condition of the Mona Lisa was causing "some worry" and that a new study has been launched, but one that will allow the painting to remain in the public eye.
		The study, to be conducted by the Center for Research and Restoration of Museums of France, is to better determine what materials the painting is made of and evaluate its vulnerability to climate changes.
		The admiration that the painting has endured throughout the ages is attributed to a number of factors: fascination with da Vinci's genius and persona; the artwork's stunning realism and technique; the mystery of the Mona Lisa's true identity; and the twists and turns in its history.
