Answer
Museum is a place for collection of preserved plants and animal specimens for study and reference. The universities and educational institutes maintain their own museums in their botany and zoology departments. Plants which cannot be kept in herbaria are preserved in museums, e.g., algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, fruits, etc. Specimens are preserve in containers or jars in preservative solutions. Plant and animal specimens may also be preserved as dry specimens. Insects are preserved in insect boxes after collecting, killing and pinning while, the larger animals are either stuffed or preserved in skeletal forms.
