You can find a museum in your local town or in overseas cities. Although every country has its own museums, there are different kinds of museums such as a fine arts museum, a military and war museum, and a science museum. You can also find small museums that exhibit the lives and histories of famous people such writers and politicians. These kinds of museums are called biographical museums.
