The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
By tracing the Greek word from which "museum" is derived to its root it is' found to signify amusement, or to amuse; and thus, the term museum would appear to embrace not only collections of curiosities for the entertainment of the sight, but also such as would interest, amuse and instruct the mind. But see Webster.
