Throughout history, humans have exhibited a profound fascination with the collection and display of objects they find intriguing and valuable. The acts of gathering and accumulating artifacts are not merely individual pursuits; they are also undertaken by states that represent various communities and so-cieties. The evolution of modern museology can be traced back to ancient ti-mes, beginning with the Mouseion of Alexandria, and extending through the emergence of private collections and cabinets of curiosities in later eras. This trajectory ultimately led to the establishment of public museums following the Renaissance. What were once exclusive collections accessible to only a few in ancient times are now open to the entire public, including tourists, under the auspices of museums.
