university museum
Academic exhibition hall
A university museum is a museum operated by a college or university, typically housing collections related to academic disciplines—art, natural history, archaeology, or the sciences.
These institutions serve both scholarly research and public education: The university museum's collection of Pre-Columbian artifacts draws researchers from around the world.
Many began as teaching collections that outgrew their original purpose.
