A Museum by definition contains some documentary / archived / categorised
eviidence in the form of artifacts, displaying some outstanding examples of activity, whether physical or intellectual.
Paignton's Museum would by definition be a great void; an empty shell,
safely gathering dust with a huge Torbay Council notice to pay on entry sticker next to a meter and a yellow-jacket.
COLLECTIONS and Donations help to form a museum of galleries
devoted to things we like, have or are keen on obsessed with.
Seashells, pebbles, fossils, driftwood, printed ephemera.holiday snaps, et al can make up a collection.
It doesn't have to be Art with a capital A.. even seaside postcards have their pkace!
Even without objects we may put one together in cyber-space!
