It it not only interesting to learn about our past but essential. Without knowing where you have come from and how things were accomplished you hold no hope in moving forward and building upon those accomplishments.

Why are museums important?
Well, museums have importance for people who enjoy history, or who are very interested in one particular subject. There are Art museums, Railroad museums, dollhouse museums, and museums devoted to history, or the history of a certain area. There are many, many other types as well. For people who love paintings by very popular artists, but are too poor to buy a painting, Art museums are probably the only chance they will have to see an original... Picasso, for example. There are also museums at the sites where historical people lived, so you can learn more about their lives. There are military museums where you can learn the history of weapons and warfare... or uniform styles. :) Museums are a popular tourist activity. When you go to a new state or a new country, seeing some of the history pictured or described at a museum is interesting and even fun. I have been to visit a couple of large dams, and seeing the historical information about how the dams were built was fascinating to me. That said, obviously all museums aren't going to appeal to all people. There are as many types of museums as there are interests, and so... if you like cars, you could go to a car museum. :) If you like sports, you could go to a sports museum (could be called a hall of fame). If you like books, you could go to the library... or, er... many museums display old books and documents. :) See the related link below to see the website of some of the Smithsonian Museums, if you are interested.

What is a museums?
A museum is where you can go see things of historical significance... although "significance" is vastly different for different people. Some small towns have museums about the history of the town, which is interesting to people who hold the town in some affection, and not so interesting to people who have never been there or who are trying to escape to a larger city. :) There are museums that have specific themes... art museums are common, for instance. There are also Railroad museums, Tractor museums, Doll museums, Military museums, and almost anything else you can name.
What age groups are interested in museums?
It really depends on the person. Some young children like them, but that's usually the type of kid who enjoys the arts or learning. Elderly people tend to like it to because i guess they find it relaxing. Long story short I would say people around 13+ years old would be interested.

What are the problems museums facing today?
The biggest problem museums face today is funding. While the economy is in decline (or even a tentative incline) it is hard to get people to donate to museums, or to have visitors pay admission fees simply for the pleasure of wandering a museum. Another big problem that museums face today is technology. Many museums are digitizing their collections and putting them on their websites in an effort to increase access to them. This is a double-edged sword though, because if people can look online to view the same things they could view in person, many people don't see the point of actually going to the museum. Technology also poses a problem for museums in that modern people seek to use technology as often as they can. Museums are often viewed as low-tech, and thus don't appeal as widely to young people. When they rush to integrate technology in their exhibits, mistakes can be made.
Why do museums have memberships?
So people can get discounts and so people can get bonuses such as seeing premiers to movies.

Who decides what art gets into museums?
The art in a museum is decided by multiple people, and is always up for contention. Large museums have many people who direct or curate a department, and these people are in charge of finding and obtaining the art works. These people are often overseen by an owner or a collection of owners who can state what they want to have in the museum. There are also private collectors, who can donate works they deem important to museums.
