10 Ways in defining what a Museum is

10 Ways in defining what a Museum is 

Dr Abe V Rotor

Author and family visit the Museum of Natural History at UPLB Laguna

Museum is where time stands still and the world goes back
into the realm of the past resurrected by fossil and artifact;

Museum is a capsule of time and space that makes a tour
for the busy soul to break away from daily grind and chore;

Museum is where man's instinct yearning to know his origin
as a human being comes to terms with unsettled beginning.

Museum is the showcase of biodiversity, past and present
of the living world - prehistoric, the ancient and the recent;

Museum is a diorama, fashioned by man's hand, aesthetic
and make-believe, his life in harmony, doubt and conflict;

Museum is an arena of knowledge, attracting the scholars
to talk about anything on earth, and beyond the stars;

Museum is a place of reflection where man draws humility
from revelation, embracing both unknown and reality.

Museum is a keyhole of a country's wealth and culture,
a view of awe and beauty, achievements and rapport;

Museum is a center of peace, foreigners and citizens
converging into small United Nations of many friends.

Museum is a place marked with neither beginning nor end,
it simply takes one into a journey of life down the bend. ~
