Abstract

Museums may apply intangible heritage to improve their visitors have a better grasp of the subject matter. Museums may bridge the gap between themselves and their non-visitors with the aid of physical and intangible cultural assets, respectively. Identifying, documenting, and representing intangible components of a museum's collections is essential for this purpose. Museums may encourage towns, organizations, and people to conserve their intangible cultural heritage by displaying it in their permanent collections. With local communities' assistance, museums may regularly organize exhibitions and educational events such as gallery tours, seminars, conferences, and workshops. In their ecological pockets within their definite geographical areas, various ethnic groups from different regions exist, each with their own micro-cultural identity and bio-cultural diversity, vital in determining and recognizing a particular ethnic group through their identity. This article also provides an overview of the significant museums in central India. Moreover, it seeks to focus on the role played by museums in raising cultural awareness about art and culture in India.
