Students of History Department at Government College and employees of Government Museum, Kalaburagi, and others took part in a function to celebrate International Museum Day, here on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cMuseums collect, preserve, archive and display elements of our past and have a story to tell. The collection displayed at the museums could do with more attention,\u201d observed Manjula Chincholli, Department of Post Graduate Studies and Research in History, Gulbarga University.<\/p>\n
Emphasising the need to involve students in museum and archaeology studies, Dr. Chincholli added that visiting museums should be a part of the curriculum for history students. The task to draw in more people is not managed by increasing the number of objects or artifacts, but by a regular communication between people and scholars and the museum, she added.<\/p>\n
Sarvodaya Shivaputra, head of History Department, Government College Kalaburagi, said that museums must promote exhibitions that are topical and challenging.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey must broaden their scope and not restrict themselves solely to objects and materials in their collections. Museums must show leadership in the promotion of the heritage of the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later, S.S. Wani, convener for INTACH, took the students around the museum and explained the significance of the artefacts.<\/p>\n
