heritage museum
Cultural artifact building
A heritage museum is an institution dedicated to preserving and displaying artifacts, traditions, and history associated with a particular culture, community, or place.
Unlike art museums or science museums, heritage museums focus on collective identity and lived experience: The heritage museum featured exhibits on coal mining families.
They often emphasize local or ethnic history rather than universal themes.
