Themuseum

[tomh009]

So, what is the difference between themuseum and an "actual museum"?

From my understanding it is the legal definition used by the province/feds for museum funding.  I'm not sure where they lack in that definition, but they do not receive provincial or federal arts/culture grants that are available to a defined museum.

They surely would not qualify as a "community museum" (Doon probably would) but I don't know whether larger museums (such as, say, ROM) are funded under a standard program or through specific grants.
