Community Museums

Community museums are institutions that focus on preserving and showcasing the culture, history, and stories of a specific local area or group. Unlike large national museums, they are often run by local residents, organizations, or volunteers, emphasizing community participation and ownership. These museums highlight the unique identity of their community and serve as a space for education, reflection, and local pride. They often display artifacts, photographs, and exhibits that tell the collective story of the people who live or have lived in the area, fostering a sense of connection and understanding among visitors.
