    Isn’t the idea of museums that you can learn about other cultures without going there?

        Yup. It’s not like they asked to have other people’s stuff in their museums. They killed and conquered, then took anything that wasn’t nailed down.

      No, the majority are about specific history or culture, usually local. Natural History Museum covers nature, Science Museum covers science, Leeds museum covers the history of the city of Leeds, Crab museum covers worker’s movements. The British museum is really the Stuff The British Stole museum.
