:''For museums named "university museum" see, University Museum (disambiguation)'' A university museum is a repository of collections run by a university, typically founded to aid teaching and research within the institution of higher learning. The Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in England is an early example, originally housed in the building that is now the Museum of the History of Science. A more recent example is the Holburne Museum of Art in Bath, originally constructed as a hotel in 1796 it is now the official museum of the University of Bath. ==Mission== Historically, the focus of university museums and galleries included curatorial research into, as well as the display of, commemorative, ceremonial, decorative and didactic collections.〔Hamilton, J. (1995). (The role of the university curator in the 1990s ). Museum Management and Curatorship, 14(1), 73-79.〕 For academics, these collections served as a valuable research resource. For students, museums performed both a leisure and learning function, developing their visual literacy, critical thinking, and creative skills. Aside from campus, museums served their perspective city and town's communities, spreading museological literacy among the different target audiences.〔Sandell, R., & Nightingale, E. (2012). (Museums, equality, and social justice. ) Abingdon, Oxon: Routledge.〕 With decades, the role of the university museums changed as they started to become more open and receptive to the cultural needs of the public.〔Guthe, A. K. (1966). (The Role of a University Museum ). Curator: The Museum Journal, 9: 103–105.〕 Public educational outreach is considered now by many university museums as an integral part of their mission, some even adopt a market approach.〔Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. (2001). (Managing university museums. ) Paris: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.〕 Changes and decentralization of the institutional values coinciding with budgeting shortfalls in some cases "gave rise to tensions and a lack of cohesive identity among a demoralized staff".〔Tirrell, P. B. (2000). Dealing with change: university museums of natural history in the United States. Museum International, 52(3), 15-20.〕 Many campus museums "have critical needs for facilities, staff, and support".〔Tirrell, P. B. (2000). A synopsis and perspective of concerns and challenges for the international community of university museums. Curator: The Museum Journal, 43(2), 157-180.〕 In the 21st century, despite the challenges brought by transition,〔Wallace, S. A. (2003). (Challenges for university museums: museums, collections and their communities. ) Les partenariats actifs des musées universitaires, 28.〕 the university museums not only continue to play important role in object-based learning〔Chatterjee, H. J. (2011). (Object-based learning in higher education: The pedagogical power of museums. ) International Committee for University Museums and Collections (UMAC) Proceedings, 3.〕 that reaches to the founding of the University of Bologna,〔(Historical synopsis of university collections and museums, with reference to precursors and significant events )〕 but also perform important civic and cultural functions for the larger society.〔Arnold-Forster, K. (2006). (Museums for the Future: Recognising new relevance for University Museums. )〕
