Generally the earliest museums were attributed to Plato though there was not enough evidence to substantiate the claim.

Merriam-Webster defines it as, “: an institution devoted to the procurement, care, study, and display of objects of lasting interest or value; also : a place where objects are exhibited” There are many and all kinds of museums out there, from major collections generally in cities to smaller general collections or even smaller collections to a specific subject or person. Unbelievably as it is, in Singapore itself, there are 51 museums spread all across the island! Yes… and so Yours Truly has taken the liberty of giving you a grand tour of the least known ones.
