Today is International Museums Day. This day has been celebrated since 1977 as a way to raise awareness of the importance of museums around the world. The theme for the acknowledgement of this day for 2017 is Museums and contested histories: Saying the unspeakable in museums. Museums are defined as a non-profit, permanent institution which is used to serve society to conserve, research and exhibit the heritage of communities and the environment. However, in a digital age where information is just a mobile phone away, do people still have interest walking in the four walls of museums to explore heritage and conservation.
