site museum

A site museum is an exhibition setting that is located directly at an archaeological or historical site. Instead of being in a separate building, the museum integrates displays and information within the actual location where artifacts or structures were found. This approach helps visitors understand the context of the discoveries and appreciate the site's historical significance more fully. Site museums often include interpretive signs, reconstructed features, and preserved ruins, providing an immersive experience that connects visitors directly to the cultural or natural heritage being showcased.
