The prototype of the first modern museum appeared in 290 BC. in Alexandria and it was called Museion. There were many rooms in the room, one has even survived to this day - this is the building of the Alexandria Library.

Most of today's museums have been created on the basis of a private collection. Celebrities and people of wealth have often donated and are passing on collections in our time, in order to display it for everyone to see, replenish and make it more interesting and richer. Patrons often become sponsors of the art collection process, helping museums and enriching the collection with unique and interesting exhibits.Over time, small collections were combined into large ones, creating modern museums. The first museum, as we know it today, was opened in London in 1753; it was the British Museum, which required written permission to visit. For general and public visits, the museum was created a little later, such was the Louvre in 1793.
