defined.

mu·se·um/myo͞oˈzēəm/

Noun: A building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited

There's a longer posting coming about what a museum is, but this definition seems incredibly lacking to me.  While I've not come to any definite conclusions about what a museum truly is, I know that it's more than a building.  A building without artifacts is a shell.  Artifacts without a building in which to be displayed are just someone's collection.  A building full of artifacts that no one comes to see is pointless...a museum is that magic combination of history, science, and community.

Obviously there's more to come on this subject, but I'm still working through it myself.
