Museums collect objects from the past or present so that they can be preserved for the future. Perhaps you or your friends also collect things: Pokémon, model cars, Playmobil, or issues of a certain magazine.
And museums arrange their objects just like you do, look after them, and seek to learn more about them. We worked with a publisher in Cologne to explain what else museums do, how they put exhibits together, and what kind of jobs museums offer.
