A museum is a storehouse of valuable objects from our past that help us understand our history and culture, how we lived, what we wore and ate, what we thought and did hundreds and thousands of years ago.
The students of Class VI of Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, New Delhi, were on a trip to the National Museum. As they walked through the halls of the museum, many questions arose in their minds. Who finds these artefacts? How does one find information about them? Why do we collect and maintain these objects? Who takes care of the museum? Their guide, the museum's curator Ira, had answers for all the questions.
The students also learnt about the fascinating careers in a museum - as a curator, a conservator, an archaeologist or a multi-media expert. And even as a volunteer, helping out with the many interesting museum programs.
