​HISTORY

​-everything that has happened in the past to people or things, or a telling of these events.

​

​Why history is important?

​

​-By understanding our past and where we came from we hope to better understand where we are now and even decide about what might happen in the future.

​

​How do We Study History?

​

Well, as a lot of the human story has already been discovered, a good place to start is by reading history books and visiting museums.

​

History books are written by historians. Historians are the women and men who study history.

​To understand all this, it is very important that we study history.

​

History is the richest of all stories that can be told as it is the story of all people, in all places, at all times. It is a beautiful story. It can be a sad and shocking story, too.

​MUSEUM

​MUSEUM - is a building or institution that cares for and displays a collection of artifacts and other objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or scientific importance.

​

Many public museums make these items available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary.

​Museums play a crucial role in preserving local culture. With careful documentation and artifact preservation, a culture can be recorded and remembered regardless of its future. It can also be shared and understood by those from different cultural backgrounds.

​Museums give us a chance to look into the past as well as the future, to see where we’ve been and where we might go. Without them, many important pieces of history would be lost.
