History museums

History museums cover the information of history and its significance to the present and future. Some cover particular aspects of history or a particular locality; others are more general. Such museums contain a broad range of objects, including documents, artifact of all kinds, art, archaeological substance. Antiquities museums concentrate in more archaeological findings.
A common type of history museum is a significant house. A historic house may be a building of special architectural interest, the birthplace or home of a famous person, or a house with an attractive history. Historic sites can also become museums, mostly those that mark public crimes, such as Tuol Sleng or Robben Island.

Another category of history museum is a living museum. A living museum is where people restructure a time period to the fullest extent, including buildings, clothes and language. It is similar to historical rebuilding.
