Museum collections tell different stories and interpretations of past and present history; museums promote dialogue and encourage us to think, learn and reflect in order to appreciate differences and discover commonalities; museums contribute to the development of cultural factors; they create memory and identity and stimulate creativity, diversity and knowledge; museums are crucial for building today's society.
