Collecting is an ancient and seemingly natural expression of humankind's search for immortality. The act of gathering things, grouping and preserving them, leaves a legacy for the future, a body of knowledge to build upon and enjoy. The modern museum has at its heart the curator, a scholar dedicated to ensuring the each object survives and has meaning in its own right as well as in a wider context. Most work with objects which were gathered by others and all of which are meant to be held in perpetuity as a public trust.

by two processes: continuous acquisition and programming innovation. These can
be divided into the areas of research, exhibits, education and
conservation.
3. To educate and encourage
collectors and cultivate patrons
