Douglas Allan, former director of the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh

"A museum in its simplest form consists of a building to house collections of objects for inspection, study and enjoyment."

The American Association of Museums developed a nationwide museum accreditation program and defined a museum as "an organized and a permanent non-profit institution, principally educational or aesthetically for purpose, with professional staff, who own and (1988 modification

"or") use tangible objects, care for them and exhibit them to the public on a regular schedule."

S. Dillon Ripley, former secretary of the Smithsonian Institution runs the national museum megalopolis in Washington, D.C.

"A museum can be a power center" but only if "museum people and the public get away from the "lofts" mentality."
