About This feature
The main purposes of Great Fine Arts Museums and Galleries Of The World
are to make works of fine art accessible to Electricka's visitors and to
enhance visitor understanding and appreciation of works held in museums,
private collections, and other fine art repositories worldwide through
examination, analysis, and information gathering.
As a corollary to this objective, The Muse has a number of additional
aims of a general nature that are associated with the world of galleries and
museums. Chief among these is to explore topics related to great and important fine art museums and galleries and
to orient them to what's held where and by whom.

about museums, Galleries, and the Fine Arts
In the modern world, there are many different kinds of museums and
galleries. Museums and galleries are not sacred places, and not all museums
and galleries are devoted to the muses, to fine art, or even to any form of
art. For example, there are museums of natural
history, technology, archeology, radio, toys, sports,
collectibles, even classic automobiles—the list goes on and on. In a sense,
even a planetarium or aquarium is a museum, even the Internet.
Moreover, many museums that are dedicated to one or
more of the arts are not dedicated to fine art at all or are not dedicated
for fine art exclusively, but merely contain objects of fine art
interspersed with other objects; or they may contain wings or sections, each
devoted to fine art, along with wings devoted to other kinds of objects.
Many fine arts collections are housed in private homes, some even in
warehouses.
Clearly, classifying fine arts museums and galleries
is a tricky business. When it comes to classifying, The Muse Of Fine Art has
taken a broad view of what it means to be a museum or gallery of fine art.
When it comes to the fine arts, The Muse stresses inclusiveness rather
than its opposite. The Muse defines Fine Arts museums or galleries as
anything or anyplace that is a repository of fine art. Museums and galleries
that fit this description are not limited to those that specialize in
objects of fine art.

technical aspects of the fine arts
In their classical definition, the fields of fine art are primarily
visual; they include painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolor,
graphics, and architecture. Yet today there are more kinds
of fine art than every before, many of which mitigate or completely
dissolve barriers that in the past restricted the sensory appeal of
fine art to the eyes at the expense of the other four senses.
